Certain systemic conditions and/or defects in the immune system may predispose the host to oral candidal infection and the commonest form of oral candidosis is candida-associated denture stomatitis. Until recently there has been controversy concerning the aetiology of the disease. Although some earlier investigators linked denture stomatitis with trauma or bacterial infection, others had isolated Candida albicans from the mouths of patients with the condition. Current studies indicate that denture stomatitis lesions are associated with the detection of candida species while other factors such as denture hygiene, trauma, systemic diseases and deficiencies of the immune system may be involved.
某些全身状况和/或免疫系统缺陷可能使宿主易患口腔念珠菌感染，而口腔念珠菌病最常见的形式是念珠菌相关性义齿性口炎。直到最近，关于该病的病因一直存在争议。尽管一些早期研究人员将义齿性口炎与创伤或细菌感染联系起来，但其他研究人员已从患有该病的患者口腔中分离出白色念珠菌。目前的研究表明，义齿性口炎病变与念珠菌属的检测有关，而其他因素如义齿卫生、创伤、全身性疾病和免疫系统缺陷可能也与之有关。
