systemic antifungal - fluconazole
Tests for candida
biopsy if hyper plastic canddiosis
oral rinse
oral swab
smear
Quantification sample
salvia sample via rinse probs
Pseduomembranous candidiosis
an fungal infection where there are white patches that can be scarped off to relieve an area of inflammation
elderly, infants, immnuocompromised
Eryhamatous candidous
red patcy areas on palate or dorsum of tongue
low CD4 cell count, seen in HIV infections
Hyperplastic candidosis
areas of white patches, especially angle of mouth that can’t be scarped off
rough white areas, bilateral and unifocal
can become malgninaint - biopsy!!
Dysplasia can lead to candida leukoplakia
Smoker and poor denture hyg
Histopath for hyperplastic candidosis
inflammation of the lamina dura
incrsease netruophils in parakeratin layer
parakeratosis - broad rete processes
Denture induced candidosis
seen in denture wears - poor OH hyg, wearin gndeutre at night
Angular chelitis
fungal infection tha occur just around the areas of corners of mouth
crusty appaerance and cracked
Candia species or staphlycoccus bacteria
Seen in anemia or excessive saliva at folds of mouth
Sojgrens syndrome
an autoimmune inflammatory response which affects the salivary and lacrimal glands
Primary sjorens
dry eyes and dry mouth but no systemic involvement
