Denture induced Stomatitis is an infection of oral mucosa caused by fungus in the area covered by a denture. It usually occurs in the upper jaw.
Denture induced Stomatitis


Causes



Wearing an unfit denture which traumatizes the oral tissue
Wearing a denture that is not thoroughly cleaned
Not taking the denture off at night before bed which creates a favourable environment that allows fungus to grow.

 



Symptoms



Rashes will appear at the early stage
Rashes will then enlarge, sometimes even desquamate
Swelling of the affected area
Feeling of pain

 



Management


rinse the denture and then soak it
Immerse the denture in water overnight

Consult a dentist and rinse with medicated mouthwash as instructed.
Remove the denture every night before bed so that the mucosa gets rest.

You must clean the denture thoroughly with toothbrush and detergent, rinse the denture and then soak it in a glass of water overnight.

If the denture doesn't fit well, you should go to a dentist for replacement.
