Abstrakt: Oral and maxillofacial fungal infections can appear in high-risk patients, including those immunocompromised. This article explores common oral manifestations of fungal infections in the oral cavity as primary lesions or as a result of disseminated disease. By far the most common oral fungal infection experienced in dentistry is oral candidiasis, which is reviewed in depth from simple oral infections to invasive candidiasis. The review aids the dental practitioner in understanding the full scope of Candida infections and other fungal infections. In addition to candidiasis, various other fungal infections are reviewed, including mucormycosis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and coccidioidomycosis.
