Abstract
Isolation and Characterization of Candida Species from Dental Caries in Deciduous Teeth
Highlights
Candida species is the most frequent fungus found in the oral cavity [1]
The present study showed the presence of Candida tropicalis as a mayor fungus isolated of dental caries in deciduous teeth
This microorganism provokes a pathology known as candidiasis in many forms [2], this yeast can be found in dental decay lesions, gingival and periodontal disease [3]

Candida species is the most frequent fungus found in the oral cavity [1]. This microorganism provokes a pathology known as candidiasis in many forms [2], this yeast can be found in dental decay lesions, gingival and periodontal disease [3]. Candida albicans is the most frequent species of microorganism in all these lesions [4], other Candida species as Candida tropicalis, C glabrata, C. C. guillermondii are less present in oral cavity [5]. Dental caries, is the most frequent lesions over world and its etiology is eminently microbial, being the Streptococcus mutans who produce the teeth demineralization and destruction [6].
