Antimycotic denture adhesive in treatment of candida associated denture stomatitis

ABSTRACT

The effect of denture adhesive containing two different types of antimycotics [Nystatin and Miconazole] in treatment of denture stomatitis were evaluated and compared with the use of denture adhesive alone. Three groups of patients were evaluated, group one used denture adhesive containing Nystatin, group two used denture adhesive containing Miconazole, group three used denture adhesive alone [control group]. The patients were evaluated clinically and microbiologically at the beginning of the study, after one week, two weeks and four weeks. The results showed that the use of denture adhesive containing antimycotic is effective in inhibiting the candidal groups and improving the clinical condition of denture stomatitis patients
