To ascertain the role of Candida in denture stomatitis, the practitioner must conduct a mycologic examination of the acrylic resin denture surface, because it acts as a reservoir for continuous reinfection of the palate. Twenty-two patients were examined to compare the sensitivity of the standard technique of swabbing the denture to that of a newly developed cast agar replica technique for detecting Candida albicans. The dentures were swabbed and cast replicas of the tissue-fitting surface of the dentures were made of both study populations. The majority of cultures obtained by swabbing failed to detect the presence of Candida albicans, while all cast agar replicas grew Candida albicans. The replica method for the detection of Candida albicans in edentulous patients seemed to be a more sensitive method than currently available mycologic methods.
为确定念珠菌在义齿性口炎中的作用，从业者必须对丙烯酸树脂义齿表面进行真菌学检查，因为它是腭部持续再感染的储存库。对22名患者进行了检查，以比较擦拭义齿的标准技术与新开发的铸型琼脂复制品技术检测白色念珠菌的敏感性。对两个研究群体的义齿都进行了擦拭，并制作了义齿组织贴合面的铸型复制品。通过擦拭获得的大多数培养物未能检测到白色念珠菌的存在，而所有铸型琼脂复制品都培养出了白色念珠菌。在无牙患者中检测白色念珠菌的复制品方法似乎比目前可用的真菌学方法更敏感。
