Ana Regina Casaroto et al. Fitoterapia. 2010 Jul.

Abstract

Phytomedicines are becoming more popular all over the world. Denture stomatitis (DS) presents as an inflammatory reaction in denture-bearing patients, under maxillary prosthesis with Candida albicans being the principal etiological agent. Many different methods of treatment for DS have been observed. The effects of the main medicinal plants claimed to be useful as antifungal agents in the treatment of DS are reviewed. Herbal remedies that have shown potential promise are mentioned, although much research is still required.
