Influence of fixed orthodontic appliances on the change in oral Candida strains among adolescents

Abstract: Background/purpose The aim of this study was to explore the presence and variability of oral Candida in adolescents before and during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. Materials and methods A total of 50 patients aged 10–18 years old were randomly selected for this study. Microorganism samples were obtained prior to and after orthodontic treatment and identified by culture methods. Molecular biology techniques were used to investiga… Show more

“…One article had a high quality [40] and the remaining 13 papers were classified as having a low quality [3,4,22,23,27,30,34,47–50,54,55]. Due to the lack of homogeneity in the study settings, a meta-analysis could not be applied and a systematic review realized.…”

“…There is also a relationship between Candida and patient resistance to illness. The increase in the Candida population may cause a temporary weakness in the body resistance during the adaptive phase following the placement of the appliances and may be associated with the amount of plaque and microbes in the oral cavity of patients shortly after placement of the orthodontic appliances (27). In a study of patients using removable and fixed orthodontic appliances, Candida density was found to be higher in the saliva samples of patients treated with fixed orthodontics.…”

“…Candida albicans fue la especie más frecuente entre los pacientes, previo al inicio de tratamiento, siendo 55,5% del total de los cultivos positivos a Candida, seguida de C. tropicalis (22,2%), similar a lo reportado en otros estudios 24,26,27,29 . Se observó un incremento significativo de 15,0 a 46,7% de niños portadores de especies de Candida desde el inicio y a seis meses de iniciado el tratamiento ortodóntico, hallazgo similar a lo reportado por otros autores 9,15,30,31 . El presente trabajo, presenta evidencias significativas que la instalación de aparatología ortodóntica puede predisponer a la colonización por especies de Candida, probablemente, debido a la interferencia que tienen en un adecuado cepillado y limpieza de la cavidad oral, como previamente se ha reportado 15,32,33 .…”

“…La teoría microecológica oral sostiene que existe un balance ecológico entre los microorganismos de la cavidad oral y el propio individuo, y éste se ve alterado cuando las condiciones del hospedero cambian. La colocación de aparatología ortodóntica no sólo influye en la acumulación de placa dento-bacteriana; también se ha asociado a incremento en la colonización microbiana, desmineralización del esmalte dental, cambios en la capacidad amortiguadora de la saliva e incluso inflamación en los tejidos periodontales 8,9,15,30,35 . No se debe omitir, que los materiales como el acrílico y el metal utilizados en la aparatología ortodóntica presentan superficies rugosas y/o porosas que dan las condiciones adecuadas para la adherencia sobre la superficie de Candida, lo que, aunado a una higiene oral deficiente y otros factores de riesgo del hospedero, pueden facilitar un incremento en el número de microorganismos presentes en la cavidad oral 8,9,12,30 .…”
