The Prevalence And Associated Factors Of Denture Wearing Associated Oral Lesions Among Dental Patients Attending College Of Dentistry Clinics In Aljouf University

European Scientific Journal, Mar 2016

Background: oral lesions can be induced by wearing dentures and have been associated with impacting the quality of life of dental patients. Study objectives: to determine the prevalence of denture associated oral lesions and their associated possible factors in college of dentistry clinics, Aljouf University. Methods and subjects: this was a retrospective study to collect data from files of patients who wear dentures. The study included 344 patients. All files were reviewed and the extracted data were further analyzed using SPSS version 20. The relationships between variables were tested using One Way Anova and Pearson correlation. Data were presented as frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviation. Significance was examined at alpha < 0.05. Results: a total of 344 files were reviewed. The following oral lesions were found: denture stomatitis (48.8%), papillary hyperplasia (39.8%), traumatic keratosis (22.1%), angular cheilitis (16.9%), and erythematous candidiasis (10.2%). No significant relationships were found between oral lesions and both age and gender bases on One Way Anova test. Pearson correlation showed a significant positive correlation between traumatic keratosis and age (r=0.110, p=0.042), and a negative correlation between traumatic keratosis and erythematous candidiasis (r=-0.110, p=0.039). Conclusions: The present studies showed that oral lesions associated with wearing denture are prevalent and create health problems that impact the quality of life of dental patients

Conclusions: The present studies showed that oral lesions associated with wearing denture are prevalent and create health problems that impact the quality of life of dental patients Oral lesions; dentures; angular cheilitis; hyperplasia; stomatitis; erythematous candidiasis; traumatic keratosis Introduction There has been an increased prevalence of oral lesions over time which is usually associated with tooth loss and the need to use dentures (Coelho et al., 2004) . Several oral lesions associated with wearing dentures have been reported to include denture stomatitis, erythematous candidiasis, angular cheilitis, traumatic keratosis and papillary hyperplasia (Pegah et al., 2012; Aiman et al., 2013; Mubarak et al., 2015) . Denture stomatitis is considered as an infectious condition in which oral mucosa is infected by fungi and to a lesser extent by bacteria in the area under the denture (Lakshmi, 2015) . According to Girard et al (1996 ), the occurrence of ulcers is likely to due to newly fitted dentures and resorption of alveolar bone. Angular cheilitis is a mucocutaneous lesion associated with deep fissures, and ulcerated appearance. The occurrence of angular cheilitis depends on various factors including nutritional, systemic, and drug-related factors (Park et al., 2011) . Angular cheilitis has an infectious nature and the patients usually suffer from burning of their lip angels (Sharon and Fazel, 2010) . Erythematous candidiasis has been described in an association with burning sensations either in in the oral cavity or the tongue. It is possible that the appearance of tongue to be either bright red or bald appearance (Pankaj et al., 2015) . The study of Anura (2014) confirmed that the wearing of denture wearing is associated with various oral lesions including histological and gross changes. Patil et al (2013) conducted a study to determine the frequency of oral lesions among denture wearers in a North Indian population. The results showed that the prevalence of frictional keratosis was (19.9%). Mubarak et al (2015) conducted a study to identify the frequency of oral lesions associated with denture wearing among dental patients visiting the clinics of the College of Dentistry, University of Dammam. The results showed that the frequency of oral lesions was 20.5% of studied cases. Hyperplasia was the most frequent induced lesion (41.9%). The researchers found a significant correlation (P = 0.004) between the type of denture and oral lesions. Sadig (2010) conducted a study to examine the frequency and associated factors with denture stomatitis among dental patients who wear dentures. The results indicated that the prevalence of denture stomatitis was 62%. Sharmila. and Muralidharan (2015 ) conducted a study to evaluate the presence of Candida albicans in complete denture wearers with angular chelitis. The results indicated that coagulase negative staphylococcus and viridans streptococcus were more likely to be encountered in such lesions. The researchers also identified some species of Candida albicans. Study objectives The main objective of the present study is to determine the prevalence of denture associated oral lesions and their associated possible factors in college of dentistry clinics, Aljouf University.
