Candida Albicans is an innocuous commensal of the microbial community of the human oral cavity. The primary location is the posterior part of the tongue and the other oral sites such as the mucosa, while the film that covers the denture surfaces is colonized secondarily. Frequently when the host defense system suffers because of the alterations like immunodeficiency C. Albicans becomes virulent which results in oral Candidiasis or denture stomatitis.
