Abstract
An open randomized controlled study involving two parallel treatment groups comprising 50 patients with Candida-associated denture stomatitis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of one application of 1 g of miconazole 55 mg/g denture lacquer in comparison with that of a commercially available miconazole 2% gel applied four times daily for 2 weeks. The results showed a pronounced reduction in the yeast scores and a reduction in the palatal erythema in both treatment groups, but there was no apparent difference between the efficacy of the two treatments. The results indicate that a single application of the denture lacquer (55 mg of miconazole) is safe and almost as effective as administration of gel four times a day for 2 weeks (3000 mg of miconazole).Keywords
