Introduction:

the subprosthesis stomatitis is the inflammation of the buccal mucosa that is in contact with the prosthesis; It is usually located on the hard palate and is almost invariably asymptomatic. It is an important health problem worldwide and is of multifactorial etiology.

Objective:

to identify the possible association of some risk factors with the appearance of subprosthesis stomatitis in patients aged 45-59 years.

Methods:

an observational analytical study of cases and controls wascarried out in the Stomatological Specialist Clinic from September 2016 to March 2018. The universe was made up of 981 patients and was studied by 96 individuals, 32 cases and 64 controls. We used binary logistic regression or univariate analysis. The variables used were age, sex, stomatitis, sub-prosthesis, misaligned prosthesis, inadequate hygiene and no rest from the use of the appliance.

Results:

the age group of 52-59 years and the female sex were the most affected by stomatitis subprosthesis. Improper prosthesis, inadequate hygiene and not resting from the use of the appliance constituted highly significant risk factors.
