The aim of this study was to isolate and identify Candida species from the oral cavity of den-ture wearers with denture-related stomatitis who were attended at the University Federalof Pará (Belém City, Pará State, Brazil). A total of 36 denture wearers with denture-relatedstomatitis were included, and type I (50%), type II (33%) and type III (17%) stomatitis wereobserved. Candida spp. were isolated from 89% of the cases and included five differentCandida species. C. albicans was the most frequently recovered species (78% of the cases),followed by C. famata and C. tropicalis. We observed a significant association between Candidaspecies isolation and unsatisfactory denture condition (p = 0.0017). Our results demonstratedthe highly frequency of Candida species isolation in denture wearers with denture-relatedstomatitis and showed the relationship between these species and poor denture maintence.
