However, significantly higher total counts and greater varieties of Candida species can be detected in wearers of removable dentures compared with non denture wearers. Poorly fitting or unhygienic dentures leads to the presence of yeast like fungi (Candida albicans biofilms) attached to it. And cause inflammation. Although candidiasis is highly resistant to antifungal agents, systemic drugs usage are necessary. But the systemic use of these drugs can cause side effects like liver toxicity, drug interactions etc. Using propolse as antifungal by local application, found that it suppresses the Candida associated dry socket and denture stomatitis. The propolse past was used in the following manner. It was applied to the fitting surface of denture, twice a day for 2 weeks. The propolse putty was putted in dry socket after complete removal of inflammatory tissues from it. The results showed pain, redness area and inflammation related stomatitis were disappear gradually after 48 hours until 2 weeks that the denture stomatitis is healing by using a propolse past. Propolse putty treat the fungal inflammation of dry socket that gradual decreases of the pain and inflammation.  After the treatment, all patients with denture stomatitis were subjected to examination of the palatal mucosa and socket and quantitative culture of Candida from the palatal mucosa and denture fitting surface and diagnosed by three method: Germ tune.Gram Stain.and ChromAgar media.
