Objective: In order to maintain their dentures clean and correctly stored, patients mainly soak bureaucracy in water at night. Candida albicans is a commensal yeast muck that colonizes dentures, and in few conditions, it enhances an opportunistic pathogen and causes fungal contaminations known as candidiasis. This mycological study proposed to evaluate the effect of distilled water on Candida albicans settling dentures.Methods: Twenty sufferers (9 men, 11 women; age range 40-75 age) with complete maxillary false teeth infected by Candida albicans were contained in this study. The dentures of these sufferers were soaked in water purified by distillation for 4 days (8 hours at night). Swab samples from the dentures were calm before and after water purified by distillation use and examined mycologically.Results: The Candida albicans community counts increased after wetting the dentures in water purified by distillation for 8 hours for 4 days.Conclusion: Patients should be dissuaded from drenching their dentures journey in distilled water, as the result is a significant increase in fungal establishment.
