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. Common drugs used are Imidazole compounds, polyene derivatives (nystatin), and amphotericin B. Many plant extracts also have antifungal activity against Candida albicans such as Triphala Morinda citrifolia, thandhadhavana churnam etc. This paper reviews the ayurvedic anti- candidal agents for Denture Stomatitis.
