• Our previous studies demonstrated that the use of acrylic based prosthesis in edentulous patients had a direct impact on the increased incidence of oral mycosis and further episodes of mycosis in the digestive tract. This dependency is associated with formation of a space between the surface of the prostheses and adhering mucosal membrane, where a specific micro environment is being formed, which - as stated - creates a superior breeding ground mainly for microorganisms of the genus Candida.
