Epidemiological factors associated with Candida albicans in patients using complete denture: a scoping review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: This study undertakes a scoping review of research on epidemiological factors of Candida albicans in patients using complete denture (CD). Methods: PubMed, LILACS, Embase, SciELO, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were used. Searches were conducted in December 2020. Keywords used in this search were Candida albicans, Complete Denture, Mouth, and Microbiology. Results: Initially, 89 articles were identified; 19 of these comprised the final sample after applying the exclusion/inclusion criteria. There was a greater tendency for females to use DC. In addition, among all samples evaluating the incidence of the fungus (n = 2,724), approximately 44.7% (n = 1,218) had C. albicans-associated prosthetic stomatitis. Conclusion: Prosthetic stomatitis is a condition that mainly affects women aged 50–70 years and has a multifactorial predisposition. Also, Newton's classification proposed in 1962 is the most used for the clinical diagnosis of oral candidiasis. The CD's hygiene status is a crucial factor for the progression of candidosis, in the same way that the C. albicans fungus plays an important role in the progression of this pathogenesis in the host.
