Candidiasis as an infection spread all over the oral cavity finds the appropriate conditions to show the clinical appearance, mainly in patients with reduced immune status. For the purpose of facilitating the case diagnosis of case studies, supported also in literature, the study aims at the application of blue methylene as an indicator of Candida colonies in various areas of oral cavity mucosa. Identification with blue methylene is a simple procedure that reduces the microbiological stages of planting and testing the candidate's candidacy, shortening the timing of diagnosis, and performing this procedure at the dental chair. Based on the literature, though few, in number, the references indicate Lugol's application, the 2% iodine solution as a candidate for treatment of candidiasis previously detected with blue methylene in the patients involved in the studies referred to in the literature. Iodine delivery in patients is progressively carried out, ranging from 1 drop to day, 2.5 mg, to a maximum of 5 drops/day, 12.5 mg, proportionally divided by day. Patients involved declare for lack of iodine allergies, and during subtype in this therapy, were kept under control for systemic sensations previously unpublished but based on literature, as sleeping disturbances, worries in the nutritional constituents of the individual diet, or any other concern.
Background: Aging as a physiological process has attracted the attention of many authors in publication of data about physiological and pathological changes that occur in organism. This study aims to express the latest data in literature about dental changes that occur as a result of aging, at component structures of oral cavity, associated with results in numbers of dental changes, comparing middle age and geriatric age. The study presents data recorded from the patients included in this study, about dental status and about systemic condition and systemic pathologies that patients suffer from. Data were recorded at different times, including a total of 93 patients. After clinical examination, endodontically treated teeth were initially recorded. The data about prosthetic treatment were recorded, divided into categories of partial or total prosthetic treatment. The systemic diseases from which patients suffer were recorded. Results: 78% of patients have natural teeth in oral cavity. The range of 16-25 teeth in oral cavity, i.e., 50-78% of mouth filled with natural teeth, includes 22% of patients: 5% of pre-geriatric age and 17% of geriatric age. Edentulism is present in status at level of 22%, while the lack of endo treatment is 39% even in clinical cases where deep caries was present in oral cavity. The presence in 78% of clinical cases with natural teeth is associated with 61% of these same cases of endodontic treatment. Fixed prosthesis is presented in 84% of clinical cases included in the study, while removable prosthesis, regardless of whether it is total or partial, is presented in 61% of clinical cases of the study. Conclusions: The comparison of middle age and geriatric age about collected dental data leads to results that clearly speak about the tendency for prosthetic replacements with both fixed prosthesis and removable prosthesis, placing emphasis the role of dental status at the whole organism. The significant increase in percentage of endodontically treated teeth is another value that speaks of the population’s awareness of dental care. The presence of natural teeth, expressed in numbers and percentages, is a value that reflects data on dental care over the years.

Introduction: As the age increases, the frequency of hearing loss, visual impairment, cataract and glaucoma is increased. Most of the geriatric patients suffer from at least one chronic disease. The aim of the study is the evaluation of the presence of dental problems in geriatric age and comparison of the frequency of lesion manifestations of pre-geriatric age. Material and methods: In a sample of 73 ad-hoc presented patients, at the University Clinic, Albanian University, for dental treatments, data on the oral status of geriatric patients were collected over a period of 2 weeks, 7-21 May 2019. The conditions for inclusion in the study were the age of the patient, 50 years and over. The mean age of geriatric age is 65 years, but the age of the study was decided to compare the elements of dental problems before the geriatric age, such as a pre-geriatric specimen or geriatric pathologies. Patients were evaluated for age, degree of education, number of teeth in the oral cavity, number of replaceable teeth, number of teeth with caries in the tooth crown, number of denture teeth in the tooth root, number of teeth with gingival recession 3 or more mm. etc. Results: Regardless of the age distribution, almost 55% of the oral cavities are full of natural tooth, the fixed prosthesis is at the highest level at age 50-65 years. Independently of the gender, the average age of the patients involved is almost the same 67 years. Crown caries expresses the highest level of 14% at oral cavity
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.
