Objectivesi) to select patients with Candida denture related stomatitis (DS) and to study possible risk factors associated with DS; ii) to evaluated the severity of DS according to Newton's Classification; iii) to investigated the association between the presence of Candida non-albicans spp. (NAC) or mixed Candida spp. and the severity of DS.Study design82 subjects with Candida positive DS have undergone: i) filling in the questionnaire-interview, ii) clinical examination and iii) microbiological examination.ResultsA total number of 113 Candida spp. isolates were obtained from Candida positive DS patients: C. albicans (as a single species) in 47/82 (57%) (SG_A patients) and NAC/mixed Candida spp. in 35/82 (43%) (SG_B patients). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age, age of the mandibular denture, and ex-smokers associated with SG_A. Multivariate model revealed no significant predictor of DS severity. Patients from SG_A group were 3 times more likely to have DS type I, while patients from SG_B group were 4.9 times more likely to have DS type III.ConclusionOur results showed the association between type III of DS (by Newton's Classification) and presents of NAC or mixed Candida spp. in denture wearers.
