Abstract:
Exogenic, prosthetical and endogenic factors that may influence and facilitate fungal infections of the oral cavity are summarized. The clinical classification of the oral candidiasis is based on the criteria accepted in the international literature. The main points for the classification are the clinical appearances, the histopathological alterations and the possible manifestation of an underlying disease. In the last part of the review a brief summary is given on the antifungal agents such as polyenes, azole-derivatives and DNA analogs available for candidiasis.
