Abstract
Yeasts were isolated from all of 100 patients with generalized simple or granular denture stomatitis. Cultures on agar models of the upper denture and the palate and direct microscopic examination of denture and tissue smears demonstrated that the largest quantities of fungi reside on the fitting surface of the denture. Eight different yeasts species were identified, of which Candida albicans and Torulopsis glabrata were the most frequent.Keywords
