The effectiveness of denture stomatitis (DS) treatment should be evaluated by associating clinical and mycological parameters. Although widely used in clinical studies, the Newton classification does not accurately represent the degree of severity of palatal inflammation in terms of extent of the lesions and intensity of the erythema. Therefore, a modified Newton classification has been proposed considering the coverage area of palatal inflammation and the erythema level. This consistent and direct ranking will help standardise randomised clinical trials, as well as the statistical comparison among blind evaluations of the obtained scores within and between studies.
义齿性口炎（DS）的治疗效果应通过结合临床和真菌学参数来评估。虽然在临床研究中广泛应用，但牛顿分类法在描述腭部炎症的病变范围和红斑程度方面并不能准确反映严重程度。因此，提出了一种改良的牛顿分类法，考虑了腭部炎症的覆盖面积和红斑程度。这种一致和直接的分级方法将有助于标准化随机临床试验，以及研究内和研究间盲法评估获得的评分的统计学比较。
