Assessment of antimicrobial treatment of denture stomatitis using an in vivo replica model system: therapeutic efficacy of an oral rinse.
Five denture stomatitis patients demonstrating Candida albicans on both maxillary dentures and palates volunteered to test the effects of Peridex oral rinse in treating their oral disease. They used Peridex rinse both as a mouthrinse and as a denture soak for a period of 24 days. Agar replicas of the tissue-fitting surfaces of the maxillary dentures revealed elimination of C. albicans. Significant decreases in palatal inflammation were also noted, although some inflammation was still evident. Several weeks after the termination of Peridex oral rinses, inflammation increased as concentrations of C. albicans on the denture surface returned to pretreatment levels. A marked similarity in the site-specific localization of this yeast species on the denture was noted before and after Peridex rinse treatment.

An in vivo replica method for the site-specific detection of Candida albicans on the denture surface in denture stomatitis patients: correlation with clinical disease.
A site-specific agar replica technique for detecting Candida albicans on the acrylic resin denture surface of denture stomatitis patients has been developed. The method is selective for C. albicans during a finite incubation period with a specific synthetic growth medium. C. albicans colonies can be geographically observed on the replica and their presence can be correlated with inflammatory lesions visible on the mucosa of the maxillary and mandibular residual ridges. In 12 denture stomatitis patients studied, a close clinical correlation of Newton type III patients was noted but this clinical correlation could not be observed in Newton type I and II patients. In general, the number of C. albicans colonies increased with the severity of the inflammation. The findings are discussed in light of lack of knowledge of the etiology of the stomatitis. The importance of the replica method is also discussed. Topics: Agar; Candida albicans; Colony Count, Microbial; Female; Humans; Male; Mycology; Stomatitis; Stomatitis, Denture | 1990 |
