“…This finding echoes other studies that reported positive correlations between Candida counts and DMFS, DS and FS scores [30,31]. Similar correlations have been reported in some experimental [32] and epidemiological studies [33][34][35][36]. A recent meta-analysis reports that children with oral C. albicans have more than 5 times higher odds of having early childhood caries than those without C. albicans [37].…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationships among sicca symptoms, oral health conditions, salivary profiles and oral Candida in Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) patients. Eighty-five SS patients (mean age = 50.5) and 40 healthy non-SS individuals (mean age = 51.4) were recruited. They self-completed the Sicca Symptoms Inventory (SSI). Decayed, missing and filled surface (DMFS) scores, salivary flow rates, pH and oral Candida colonization were determined. Mean SSI summary scores of SS patients and non-SS individuals were 11.1 and 5.4 respectively (p < 0.001). The most prevalent sicca symptoms in SS patients were eye irritation (93%), dry throat or nose (88%) and need of fluid for mouth wetting (88%). SS patients had significantly lower whole salivary flow rates than the non-SS individuals. Candida strains were isolated from over 60% of SS patients but not in non-SS patients. C. albicans was the predominant species. SSI summary score was negatively correlated to salivary flow rates while SSI summary and domain scores were positively correlated to the number of filled surfaces (FS) and DMFS scores and oral Candida counts. In conclusion, SS patients had more severe sicca symptoms than non-SS individuals. SSI scores were negatively correlated to the salivary flow rates but positively correlated to caries experience and oral Candida colonization.

“…This predominance suggests that the hormonal changes following menopause and/or the presence of other age-related diseases may facilitate the development of lesions, particularly among immunocompromised patients. 3,4 Approximately 61% of the participants had some type of chronic disease, and 69.44% were taking medications. These aspects are relevant and should be considered when assessing the efficacy of products, as they might result in unsatisfactory treatment and persistent infection.…”

“…2 The continuous use of removable dentures has a considerable impact on the development of DS because dentures serve as reservoirs of microorganisms due to irregularities as well as the porousness of the acrylic resin surface and because they hinder the mucosa's self-cleaning. 1,3 DS is usually asymptomatic; however, some patients might experience pain or burning, halitosis, swelling, itching, or xerostomia. 4 DS was classified into three types by Newton solely according to clinical criteria: Type I (pinpoint hyperemia -localized or sparse palatal erythema), Type II (diffuse hyperemia -diffuse erythema, more common), and Type III (granular hyperemia -papillary hyperplasia with rough or nodular mucosa).…”

Aim: It was analyzed the efficacy of mouthwash and spray containing essential oil (EO) of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume for the treatment of oral candidiasis. Methods and results: A randomized, controlled, and blinded clinical trial was conducted with 36 individuals (probabilistic sample) with oral candidiasis who were divided into two treatment groups: C. zeylanicum (0.5 mg/mL), n = 18; nystatin (100,000IU/mL), n = 18. The efficacy of the products was evaluated by two parameters: (a) clinical evolution recorded by calibrated examiners (Kappa = 0.822) according to Newton's classification and (b) reduction of colonyforming units/mL. Mycological and clinical parameters were analyzed before and at 15 days after treatment. Clinical examination of the mucosa showed that C. zeylanicum (p < 0.0339) and nystatin (p < .0139) had efficacy, resulting in a reduction of signs and symptoms (Mann-Whitney test). Mycological analysis showed that C. zeylanicum caused a reduction of 61% and 33% of Candida spp., isolates oral mucosa and dentures, respectively. Candida tropicalis strains were eliminated after C. zeylanicum, in both sites. The participants reported a pleasant taste and few product-related complaints. Conclusion: C. zeylanicum EO and nystatin exhibited clinical efficacy, accordingto the Newton classification, and reducing in Candida spp. The clinical trial has been registered (Registration number: NBR-33s6 × 5, ensaiosclinicos.gov.br).

“…Removable prostheses promote a favorable microenvironment for the growth of Candida albicans. The oral mucosal-prosthesis interface has low levels of oxygen and pH, 37 which are associated with poor hygiene 38 and reduced salivary flow. These factors likely favor the colonization of C. albicans, and subsequent development of denture stomatitis.…”

Status of Removable Dentures and Relationship with Oral Candida‐Associated Factors in a Geriatric Population in Catalonia

Abstract: Elderly people in this study used a complete denture in good condition, with a median age of 15 years. Daily or weekly sugar consumption was found to be highly associated with oral colonization by Candida.
