Denture-related stomatitis (also termed denture sore mouth,〔 denture stomatitis,〔 chronic atrophic candidiasis,〔 Candida-associated denture induced stomatitis, and denture-associated erythematous stomatitis) is a common condition where mild inflammation and redness of the oral mucous membrane occurs beneath a denture. In about 90% of cases, ''Candida'' species are involved.〔 This is normally a harmless component of the oral microbiota in many people. Denture-related stomatitis is the most common form of oral candidiasis (a yeast infection of the mouth). It is more common in elderly people, and in those who wear a complete upper denture (a denture which replaces all the upper teeth, worn by someone with no natural teeth in their upper jaw). Denture-related stomatitis is more likely to develop when the denture is left constantly in the mouth, rather than removing it during sleep, and when the denture is not cleaned regularly. ==Classification== The Newton classification divides denture-related stomatitis into three types based on severity. Type one may represent an early stage of the condition, whilst type two is the most common and type three is uncommon.〔 * Type 1 - Localized inflammation or pinpoint hyperemia * Type 2 - More diffuse erythema (redness) involving part or all of the mucosa which is covered by the denture * Type 3 - Inflammatory nodular/papillary hyperplasia usually on the central hard palate and the alveolar ridge 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denture-related stomatitis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
