The effect of fixed orthodontic appliances on the oral carriage of Candida species and Enterobacteriaceae

Changes in oral microbiota due to orthodontic appliances: a systematic review

“…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.…”

“…Ristic’s studies [44,45] highlighted that maximum values of PI and BOP were reached 3 months after appliance placement, followed by a decrease in these parameters 6 months after treatment began. Six studies assessed the increase of Candida at different times [12,13,22,23,56,57]. …”

Candida spp. adherence to oral epithelial cells and levels of IgA in children with orthodontic appliances

“…However, children in the EG showed more yeasts adhering to their epithelial cells in the exfoliative cytology examination. Hagg et al 11 also observed that candidal carriage did not significantly increase due to the insertion of fixed orthodontic appliances using oral rinse or pooled plaque techniques, but an increase was detected using the imprint culture technique. According to these authors, the imprint technique is sensitive to the localization of yeast growth and the oral rinse technique is used to evaluate oral yeast carriage.…”

“…According to these authors, the imprint technique is sensitive to the localization of yeast growth and the oral rinse technique is used to evaluate oral yeast carriage. 11 Similarly, examination of exfoliative cytology is better than evaluation of saliva to demonstrate adhering microorganisms. Our finding that the EG had higher counts of adhering Candida suggests that the use of orthodontic devices may cause stress or microtrauma in the oral mucosa that can affect the process of microbial colonization and the adherence of yeasts to epithelial cells.…”

Hareketli̇ Fonksi̇yonel Aparey Kullanan Hastalarda Oral C. Albi̇cans Koloni̇zasyonunun Araştirilmasi

“…13,14 C. Albicans ise en yaygın candida türü olup, oral kavitede bulunan candida tür-leri arasında en sık rastlanılanıdır. 15,16 Ortodontik apareyler retantif alanlar yarattığından, sıklıkla Streptococcus mutans (S. Mutans) ve Candida Albicans (C. Albicans) içeren dental plak bakteri kolonizasyonunu arttırmaktadırlar. Bu durum özellikle süresi uzamış hareketli akrilik rezin plak kullanımında önem kazanır.…”
