Candida spp. and gingivitis in children with nephrotic syndrome or type 1 diabetes

Abstract: Background: Diabetes and Nephrotic syndrome (NS) promote plaque-related gingivitis and yeast-like fungal infections. The study assesses the impact of Candida spp. and general disease-or treatment-related factors on plaque-related gingivitis severity in children and adolescents with Nephrotic syndrome /diabetes. Methods: Body mass index (BMI), BMI standard deviation score, and oral cavity (Plaque Index -PLI, Gingival Index -GI, mucosa status, presence and Candida enzymatic activity) were assessed in 96 patients… Show more

“…A previous study suggested that children with NS undergoing immunosuppressive treatment are predisposed to gingivitis but it did not evaluate the changes in alveolar bone. 3 In some of the studies investigating the possible interaction between oral health and CKD, the PI values of patients with renal disease were reported to be higher than those of healthy individuals and to be similar in some cases. 20 It was claimed that the increase in PI is related to neglect of oral care procedures resulting from the impact of negative changes in the general health status of patients with renal disease.…”

“…Accordingly, oral plaque-associated gingivitis and fungal infections have been reported frequently in children with NS. 3 Vitamin D plays an important role in absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Absorption of calcium and phosphorus help to improve healthy bone and teeth development.…”

“…Oral hygiene status and periodontal disease were assessed using the Oral Hygiene Index-simplified (OHI-S) and the Gingival Index (GI) [7,8]. The GI scores indicated the severity of gingivitis as follows: 0.1-1.0, mild inflammation; 1.1-2.0, moderate inflammation; and 2.1-3.0, severe inflammation [9,10]. The OHI-S score (sum of the values of the dental plaque index and dental calculus index) is classified as excellent (score 0), good (scores from 0.1 to 1.2), fair (scores from 1.3 to 3.0), or poor (scores from 3.1 to 6.0) [6,11].…”

“…A comprehensive 2019 review describes in detail the physiopathology and etiology involved in the occurrence of oral candidiasis in people with diabetes/ dysglycemia and why they are especially susceptible [53]. In a study of children aged 3-18 years in Poland, only those with type 1 diabetes or nephrotic syndrome developed Candidiasis, despite Candida species were found also in the systemically healthy control group [54].…”
