ABSTRACT

Introduction: denture stomatitis is a common complication of dental prosthesis, for the development of oral candidiasis there are risk factors such as systemic diseases, drug consumption and hyposalivation. Objective: identify the possible involvement of hyposalivation with the development of denture stomatitis. Material and methods: a pilot study was conducted to identify whether hyposalivation promotes candidiasis development in patients with removable prostheses. We included adult patients of both sexes with removable dentures and denture stomatitis, and we measured salivary flow using the oral Schirmer's test. Results: of a group of 19 patients with subprosthetic candidiasis, eight had hyposalivation, 50% with systemic diseases and drug consumption, 25% were smokers and 25% had no other risk factor for candidiasis. Conclusions: denture stomatitis is a common condition among patients with removable dentures, and timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications. The results highlight the importance of proper prosthetic maintenance, regular oral health monitoring and management of risk factors, particularly hyposalivation, to prevent the appearance of denture stomatitis.
