Abstract
Oral candidiasis can be influenced by underlying systemic conditions and may indicate undiagnosed immunosuppression. On the other hand candidiasis can impact overall health by limiting nutritional intake and leading to severe complications, particularly in immunocompromised patients. This article presents the general predisposing factors that can contribute to the development of oral candidiasis. These factors encompass pregnancy, immune immaturity in newborns, advanced age, nutritional elements such as iron and folate deficiency, endocrine disorders like diabetes, malignancies, and hematologic disorders, renal conditions, immunosuppression, congenital ailments, and the use of psychotropic substances. The significance of monitoring and appropriately treating oral candidiasis within an interdisciplinary approach is underscored. Prevention and efficient management of these infections are crucial for patients with systemic conditions, aiding in the avoidance of complications and recurrences.
