The aim of this study was to identify species of the genus Candida in mucosa of oral cavity and in single-rooted teeth with pulp necrosis with chronic endodontic periapical processes, with radiographic images 2+/-4 mm and without clinical symptomatology, in immunocompetent patients. The study included 82 immunocompetent patients of both sexes aged 18-70 years with a clinical dental diagnosis of septic pulp necrosis. Samples were taken from root canals with sterile # 25 paper points and from oral mucosa with a sterile swab. Seven different Candida species were identified (C. albicans, C. dubliniensis, C. guilliermondii, C. krusei, C. parapsilopsis, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata). All of them were present in oral mucosa, while two of them (C. parapsilopsis and C. glabrata) were not identified in the periapical zone of necrotic canals. Considering all the samples isolated from oral mucosa, there was a significantly greater frequency of C. albicans than there was in the periapical zone of necrotic canals. |
