Abstract

Microorganism buildup is one of the most critical issues with soft denture liner materials resulting in a disease known as denture-induced stomatitis, caused by a fungus, namely Candida albicans (C. albicans). As a result, creating a soft lining material with a medication delivery system is required.

    In this review of literature, the light will be concentrated on the role of oil extracted from natural herbs in the treatment of denture stomatitis with a focus on lemongrass essential oil in this review.
