“…The increased risk for oral candidosis is likely to be the result of the drop in salivary flow as a consequence of radiotherapy. 16,17 Besides, a possible explanation for a higher predisposition of irradiated patients to candidosis is a reduced phagocytic activity of salivary granulocytes against these micro-organisms. 18 Clinically, candidosis can be seen both in its pseudomembranous and erythematous forms.…”

“…A redução do fluxo está relacionada com o aumento da colonização oral por Candida, bem como a microbiota bacteriana acidogênica e acidúrica, responsável pelo desenvolvimento de cáries dentárias (11,12,18,19,25,27) . O fluxo salivar durante a radioterapia apresentou redução significativa progressiva durante e após a RxT, em comparação com a coleta inicial e com pacientes saudáveis.…”

“…Em adição, a relação entre a redução do fluxo salivar e o incremento fúngico foi demonstrada estatisticamente. Em um estudo com metodologia similar, Ramirez-Amador et al (19) associaram estatisticamente a correlação entre a redução do fluxo salivar e o aumento da colonização fúngica.…”
