A retrospective study of the epidemiologic data of 4,417 subjects has been undertaken to study the possibility of a link existing between glossal central papillary atrophy (median rhomboid glossitis) and denture stomatitis. Neither the association between glossal central papillary atrophy and denture stomatitis nor the association between glossal central papillary atrophy and denture use was statistically significant. However, the correlation between wearing removable dental prostheses and finding candidal mycelia in smears from these tongue lesions was statistically highly significant. Debilitation caused by general age changes would not appear to predispose to atrophy of the pappillae of the middle portion of the tongue-dorsum.
已对4417名受试者的流行病学数据进行了一项回顾性研究，以探讨舌中央乳头萎缩（正中菱形舌炎）与义齿性口炎之间存在关联的可能性。舌中央乳头萎缩与义齿性口炎之间的关联以及舌中央乳头萎缩与义齿使用之间的关联均无统计学意义。然而，佩戴可摘义齿与在这些舌部病变涂片检查中发现念珠菌菌丝之间的相关性在统计学上具有高度显著性。一般年龄变化引起的身体虚弱似乎不会导致舌背中部乳头萎缩。
