对121名居住在洛锡安地区机构化家庭的老年无牙个体进行了一项研究。苏格兰（英国），以确定酵母菌和相关口腔疾病的患病率。临床检查发现，65人（54%）患有义齿性口炎，其中51人（78%）回收了酵母菌。分离出的酵母菌主要为光滑球拟酵母菌和白色念珠菌。唾液样本的文化产生了略高的酵母菌的回收率相比，口腔和上颚的流动擦拭。每天吸烟的数量对义齿性口炎的存在有显着的积极影响。唾液中血型抗原的分泌者和非分泌者之间的疾病状态没有差异。这项研究表明，口腔粘膜感染的显着水平，在一个机构化的老年人口。
A study was carried out of 121 elderly edentulous individuals living in institutionalised homes in the Lothian Region. Scotland (UK) to determine the prevalence of yeasts and associated oral disease. Clinical examinations found that 65(54%) of the individuals suffered from denture stomatitis, and yeasts were recovered from 51(78%) of these individuals. The main yeasts isolated were Torulopsis glabrata and Candida albicans. Culture of saliva samples produced a slightly higher recovery rate of yeasts compared with swabbing of the flow of mouth and palate. The number of cigarettes smoked per day had a significant positive effect on the presence of denture stomatitis. No difference in disease state was shown between secretors and non-secretors of blood group antigens in saliva. This study demonstrates a significant level of oral mucosal infection in an institutionalised elderly population.
