[Candidiasis and leukoplakia of the oral cavity in the patient wearing complete dentures].

Abstract

Candidal infection and leukoplakia are quite common in denture wearers. The clinical pictures, that the dentist can deal with, are described and particularly the mixed candidosis-leukoplakia forms. Here a candidal infection comes on top of a hyperplastic lesion. Therapeutic recommendations from the literature are reported.
