Comparative Evaluation of Oral <i>Candida albicans</i> Carriage in Children with and without Dental Caries: A Microbiological <i>in vivo</i> Study

Abstract

This study supports the active role of Candida species in dental caries. Hence, Candida albicans may play an important role as a risk factor for dental caries. It was also seen that the oral environment stabilization procedures were able to reduce Candida albicans counts. Thus, these procedures can be considered efficient in the reduction of caries risk.
