PREVENTION OF PERIODONTAL TISSUE DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH CANDIDIASIS.

Oral candidiasis is an inflammatory process that occurs due to infection of the body with Candida fungi. Usually, the fungus is activated when the body's defenses are reduced. Often, candidiasis affects small children, who often have relapses of the disease. The risk group includes smokers, men over 60, women of all ages. In recent years, the number of patients with candidiasis has increased significantly. The main reason for this trend is the irrational and uncontrolled use of antibiotics, which reduce the body's immune functions and disrupt the balance of microflora.
