Abstract

Degradation of oral health is often assumed to progress with aging. However, significantly higher total counts and greater varieties of Candida species can be detected in wearers of removable dentures compared with nondenture wearers.Poorly fitting or unhygienic dentures leads to the presence of yeast like fungi (Candidaalbicans ) attached to it, and cause inflammation. Although candidiasis is highly resistant to antifungal agents, systemic drugs usage are necessary. But the systemic use of these drugs can cause side effects like liver toxicity, drug interactions etc.Usingpropolseasantifungal by localapplication, found that it suppresses the Candida associated dry socket and denture stomatitis. The Propolispast was used in the following manner. It was applied to the fitting surface of denture, twice a day for 2 weeks. The Propolisputty was putted in dry socket after complete removal of inflammatory tissuesfrom it.The results showed pain, redness area and inflammation related stomatitis were disappear gradually after 48 hours until 2 weeks that the denture stomatitis is healing by using a Propolispast.Propolisputty treat the fungal inflammation of dry socket that gradual decreases of the pain and inflammation.After the treatment, all patientswith denture stomatitis were subjected to examination of the palatal mucosa and socket and quantitative culture of Candida from the palatal mucosa and denture fitting surface and diagnosed by three method :Germ tube.GramStain.andChromAgar media
