ABSTRACT
Introduction: denture-induced stomatitis is one of the most frequent alterations diagnosed among the oral-cavity pathologies; it is defined as an inflammatory-type state that can lead to a hyperplastic lesion if it is not properly treated.Objective: to characterize the behavior of denture-induced stomatitis in this population.
Material and method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in partial and total denture-wearing patients older than 15 years old belonging to "Raul Sanchez" outpatient clinic in Pinar del Rio during February 2008 to February 2010. The sample was comprised of 232 patients chosen by means of three-state conglomeration. To the statistical analysis of data, measures to sum up the qualitative variables (punctual percentage and confidence interval) were used, and in the necessary cases, non-parametric chi square test to determine the correlation among some variables. Significance level was p <0,05.
Results: the most affected group of ages was 61 years old and older; female sex along with second (II) clinical degree prevailed. The most frequent location was the middle and posterior part of palate. Noxious habits due to the continuous use of dentures followed by a deficient oral hygiene predominated.
Conclusions: acrylic bases provoked the greatest frequency of alterations. As the time of use increased, together with problems in adjusting the dentures, the risk of suffering from this alteration also increased.
