Incidence and prevalence of oral candidal colonization in patients with cleft lip and palate

Abstract: Aims and Objectives: This study aims to assess and compare the incidence and rate of oral candidal colonization in patients with cleft lip and palate and collate it with healthy individuals. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the factors that may affect the incidence, rate, and polycolonity of colonization of oral Candida species in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) as compared to healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: The current… Show more

“…[ 3 4 ] Achieving optimal oral health in individuals with CLP is challenging due to the anatomy of the cleft area, age of the patient, intraoral prosthetic devices, residual scar tissue, immobility of the lip, and misaligned teeth. [ 3 5 ] Extensive dental and orthodontic treatments frequently required in such patients influence the microbial load. The oral cavity, once sterile during fetal development, gets colonized by several microbes, with Candida species being among the first inhabitants.…”
