Candida-associated denture stomatitis (A–D) showing a more diffuse erythema involving a part or the entire denture-covered mucosa combined with pseudomembranous candidosis and angular cheilitis in four people who wore dentures for many years. An ill-fitting denture (E) showed poor denture hygiene and the denture-relining materials acted as a chronic reservoir allowing continuous seeding of Candida onto the palatal tissue of the patient (D). Complete resolution of denture stomatitis after antifungal therapy with nystatin tablets, efficient oral and denture hygiene and removal of the denture (F).
