Chronic erythematous candidiasis also known as denture-related stomatitis refers to inflammatory changes of the denture-bearing mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of chronic erythematous candidiasis in a Lebanese population using clinical and microbiological examinations.
Ninety-eight patients wearing full acrylic maxillary denture (50 women and 48 men) were included in this study. A clinical oral assessment and a microbiological exam using swab samples collected from the palate of these patients were performed and the data obtained were analyzed statistically.
Sixty-nine point thirty-eight per cent (69.38%) of the patients examined, (68 out of 98; 25 men and 43 women), presented chronic erythematous candidiasis. The statistical analysis showed that patient's gender was a significant predictor of the disease while no statistically significant relationship with the patient's age was found.
Within the limits of this study, the prevalence of chronic erythematous candidiasis is estimated to be high in Lebanon. Women were more affected than men.
慢性红斑性念珠菌病也称为义齿性口炎,是指义齿承托区黏膜的炎症变化。本研究的目的是通过临床和微生物学检查评估黎巴嫩人群中慢性红斑性念珠菌病的患病率。
本研究纳入了98名佩戴全口上颌丙烯酸义齿的患者(50名女性和48名男性)。对这些患者进行了临床口腔评估,并使用从其腭部采集的拭子样本进行了微生物学检查,并对获得的数据进行了统计分析。
受检患者中有69.38%(98名中的68名;25名男性和43名女性)患有慢性红斑性念珠菌病。统计分析表明,患者性别是该疾病的重要预测因素,而未发现与患者年龄存在统计学上的显著关系。
在本研究范围内,黎巴嫩慢性红斑性念珠菌病的患病率估计较高。女性比男性受影响更大。
