Explanation: It is usually not associated with a sore mouth: This
statement is true. Denture stomatitis can occur without
significant soreness, although some patients may experience discomfort. The
condition is often asymptomatic, especially in its early stages. It is usually associated with wearing a denture at night:
This statement is true. Wearing dentures continuously,
especially at night, can create a favorable environment for the growth of
Candida species, which is a common cause of denture stomatitis. It is more common in diabetes: This statement is true.
Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk for infections, including
oral candidiasis, which can lead to denture stomatitis. It is more common in men: This statement is not
true. Denture stomatitis is generally more prevalent in women,
particularly postmenopausal women, due to hormonal changes that can affect
oral mucosa and immune response.

Oral PathologyPlummer-Vinson syndrome is strongly associated with post-cricoid carcinoma and esophageal web formation. It is due to iron deficiency (not folic acid), is more common in females (especially middle-aged women), and IS associated with oral premalignant lesions and increased risk of upper digestive tract malignancies. The syndrome represents a premalignant condition with significant cancer risk, particularly in the post-cricoid region.
