| Core Tip |
Diabetes, smoking, poor plaque, and gingival status were key potential risk factors that significantly associated with candida’s density and presence. Third of the population had candida; which may highlight a need for targeted preventive strategies to reduce the candida rate including instructing patients to visiting dentists regularly, brushing teeth twice daily, maintaining healthy immunity status, and controlling sugar in the blood if patient is diabetic. |
