Background: Oral mucosa of denture wearers is quite often subject to inflammation, a condition known as Denture Stomatitis, in which Candida spp. plays an important etiological role. Aim: To study the spectrum of Candida spp. in oral mucosa of denture wearers. Objective: To emphasis on evaluation of oral health of denture wearers, specially the elderly. Methodology: This prospective study was done in 2013 at a four year young, central university’s tertiary dental college. Institutional Ethical Approval was obtained. Persons attending Prosthodontics OPD with a history of wearing maxillary complete dentures for a minimum of 6 months were included in the study. Swabs from the mucosal surface underlying the denture were sent for microbiological identification. Results: Of the 09 subjects, 07 were males and 02 females in the age group of 40 yrs to 80 yrs. C. albicans, C. krusei and C. glabrata were isolated, with a mixed growth of C. albicans and C. krusei seen in one subject. Conclusion: As denture stomatitis is frequently asymptomatic, periodic monitoring, for the presence of Candida species should be done. Investigation into factors causing the initial attachment of Candida spp. should be evaluated along with motivation of the aged for regular dental visits. [Anuradha S NJIRM 2017; 8(6):71-74]
