Denture stomatitis (DS) is a common condition in edentulous patients and often associated with a wide range of risk factors. The presence of Candida spp. and denture biofilm are frequently mentioned as significant factors, leading to the need for oral hygiene instructions as part of the therapy. Within that context, the importance of denture hygiene instructions is consensual; however, th…
Oral candidoses affect a large number of persons worldwide and are associated with conditions such as immunosuppression, radiation therapy, smoking, oral hygiene, age, xerostomia and denture wearing. An important therapeutic approach for these infections consists in antifungal agents which can present adverse effects and result in resistance of pathogens. Within this context photodynamic …
Complete edentulism is an important public health problem, with high prevalence among the Brazilian elderly population. Tooth loss can cause significant functional impairment, as well as psychological discomfort and social disability. Overdentures retained by two conventional implants have been considered as the standard of care for complete edentulismo. Nevertheless, a large number of pa…

The continuous use of removable dentures can foster oral infectious diseases such as denture stomatitis, which is associated to precarious oral hygiene habits and denture biofilm. The incorporation of an antiseptic agent in denture bases has great preventive and therapeutic potentials against such pathologic processes, although it needs further investigation regarding its feasibility. The…

Besides their importance for clinical research on edentulism, the use of instruments for assessing the patient's perception of his/her oral health can provide a better understanding of real needs and problems by the dentist, thus directing proper treatment planning. Nowadays such patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are assessed by means of print questionnaires. However, electronic methods of …
