Introduction: Candidiasis or Candidosis are designated names designated as infectious names for fungi of the genus Candida spp., which establish a commensal relationship with the immune system when the system is depressed or by some pathogenic infections. As proposals of oral candidiasis can be hyperplastic in primary and secondary cited by the following types: pseudoplastic, erythematous, pseudomembrane, erythematous; there is a category called “lesions also associated with Candida spp.”, which includes denture stomatitis (PE). Knowing the relationship between the development of the disease and the use of dental prosthesis, the present work aims to carry out a literature review on the subject. Methodology: This is a descriptive work with a qualitative aspect of literature review, where they were used as sources of scientific and scientific research. The search platforms used were PubMed, Scielo and the Virtual Health Library. Results and discussion: The presence of devices or devices such as appliances or orthodontic appliances can provoke or modify the best of the microbiota, due to the physical-bio oral environment. In addition, the prosthesis is often related to the use of oral prostheses, such as traumatic ulcers, mucogingival hyperplasia and many oral candidiasis. One of the causes of PE is the proper use of the prosthesis, which, associated with poor hygiene, can be a factor that potentiates the disease; therefore, it is extremely important that the patient is advised about the risk of developing the condition and how to avoid it. Final considerations: The relationship between the use of dental prosthesis and the development of oral candidiasis is well related in the literature. Therefore, dental professionals must take care of patients who use the device for disease care, seeking to improve the possibility of disease development.
Introduction: Dentistry currently plays an important role in the different therapeutic phases against cancer, whether in the phase that precedes cancer treatment, where a previous evaluation can effectively reduce complications arising from infectious or inflammatory processes of oral origin, which can exacerbate during treatment. and after neoplastic treatment, or in the prevention of oral sequelae that occur during and after radiotherapy treatment. Objectives: To carry out a literature review on the oral manifestations resulting from radiotherapy, addressing the management and treatment of complications. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive work with a qualitative aspect of literature review, where scientific articles and books were used as research sources. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 96 studies were found and 22 were selected. Results and discussion: The oral manifestations resulting from radiotherapy are well recognized in the literature and the most frequent are oral mucositis, xerostomia, loss of taste, trismus and osteoradionecrosis. Conclusion: Adequacy of medium before radiotherapy treatment is widely recommended in the literature as a prevention of oral manifestations resulting from cancer treatment. In addition, dental follow-up of the patient during cancer treatment is necessary, for this, it is recommended that the dentist be part of the multidisciplinary oncology team. Thus, combining prevention with follow-up, it is possible to obtain a reduction in the rates of involvement of these manifestations and, consequently, less interruption of treatment and an improvement in the quality of life of radiotherapy patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
