Continuing denture stomatitis case: appropriate treatment for the candidal infection?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Nystatin (topical antifungal)
NYSTATIN (polyene antifungal): first-line for oral candidiasis associated with denture stomatitis. Binds ergosterol in fungal cell membrane → pores → cell lysis. For resistant/severe cases: systemic fluconazole. Must combine with denture hygiene and nighttime removal.
