OBJECTIVE
to test the association between Candida and mutans streptococci (ms), oral hygiene and caries levels and in children.
METHODS
22 boys and 12 girls (age 6 to 14.5 years) participated in the study. Each participant received a toothbrush, and was asked to brush his/her teeth after proper instructions. Dental caries and oral hygiene were recorded. Candida and ms levels were determined in saliva samples.
RESULTS
Candida colonies were observed in 70.5% of the children. No association was found between Candida and caries or plaque and gingival indices. C. albicans-positive children demonstrated significantly higher brushing scores.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings may suggest that there is no clear association between Candida in saliva, and levels of cariogenic bacteria and caries risk in children.
目的
检测念珠菌与变形链球菌（MS）、口腔卫生及儿童龋齿水平之间的关联。
方法
22名男孩和12名女孩（年龄6至14.5岁）参与了该研究。每位参与者都得到一把牙刷，并在接受适当指导后被要求刷牙。记录龋齿情况和口腔卫生状况。测定唾液样本中的念珠菌和MS水平。
结果
70.5%的儿童中观察到念珠菌菌落。未发现念珠菌与龋齿、菌斑及牙龈指数之间存在关联。白色念珠菌阳性的儿童刷牙得分显著更高。
结论
我们的研究结果可能表明，唾液中的念珠菌与儿童致龋菌水平及龋齿风险之间没有明确关联。
