ABSTRACT

Foundation: sub-prothesis stomatitis is one of the most frequently diagnosed disturbances within oral pathology.
Objective: To characterize patients carrying subprothesis stomatitis.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 37 patients belonging to the José Luis Chaviano Chavez University Polyclinic Clinic, Area I, from Cienfuegos, attended between September and December 2016. Sex, age, type of prosthesis, use, technical state of the prosthesis, harmful habits, degree and area of injury were analyzed.
Results: female gender predominated, between the ages of 60 and 74 years. The most common type of prosthesis was the total one, poor oral hygiene prevailed as a harmful habit, most the patients used prostheses continuously, the II degree was of higher prevalence and the lesion was more frequently found in the middle zone; the highest percentage of patients had maladjusted dentures.
Conclusions: in patients with stomatologic prosthetics, sub-prothesis stomatitis constitutes undoubtedly a lesion with multifactorial etiology.
