An epidemiologic study of yeasts in elderly denture wearers
Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study has been to assess the prevalence of denture stomatitis and Candida infection in an elderly Danish population. Ten percent of the population above the age of 65 in a Danish community was selected randomly. The study group consisted of 465 persons wearing a removable maxillary denture, who were examined in their homes. Yeasts were isolated by oral swabs for cultivation and by mucosal and denture scrapings for microscopy. The prevalence of denture stomatitis was 65 %. Yeasts, especially C. albicans, were cultivated in most denture wearers with denture stomatitis (Group 1) or with clinically normal palatal mucosa (Group 2). However, large accumulations of hyphae were present in 77 % of the patients in Group 1 compared with 47 % in Group 2; both hyphae and inflammatory cells were seen in smears in 65 % of Group 1 but only in 14 % of Group 2. On the other hand, bacterial contamination of the smears was more pronounced in Group 2 than in Group I. The study has revealed that Candida infection and poor denture cleanliness are very common in elderly denture wearers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
