One problem that can arise from the failure to replace lost teeth is a condition know as “angular cheilitis,” inflammation of the corners of the mouth caused primarily by a reduction in the vertical dimension of the bite. As the lips overlap more at the corners of the mouth and leak saliva, the stage is set for irritation and inflammation. While the fungal and bacterial growth that leads to skin irritation and cracking may be stemmed with medications such as anti-fungal, antibiotic, and steroid cr eams, the root cause of the problem must be addressed. Treatment usually entails replacement of lost teeth. If dentures are already in place, adjustment of denture fit and/or better adherence to denture-cleaning guidelines may be required.
