Background: Denture stomatitis is highly prevalent in denture wearing patient, & microbial plaque accumulation on intaglio surface of removable dentures plays a critical role in formation of denture biofilm. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the growth of candidal species on Denture Biofilm using new sampling technique in vivo & testing efficacy of Chlorhexidine as disinfectant on denture biofilm of patients with & without denture stomatitis. Methods: Patients wearing complete dentures with partial denture stomatitis as study group & patients without denture stomatitis as control group were taken. Separate acrylic resin disks were inserted at denture stomatitis lesion site and at normal mucosal sites coinciding with the dentures of study group & control group.
