Detecting and Treating Chronic Multifocal Candidiasis
By Trever L. Siu, DMD, MS and Douglas W. Beals, DDS, MS
Oral candidiasis is an infection associated with the yeast-like fungal organism Candida albicans.1 It can present as a white (pseudomembranous), red (erythematous), or mixed lesion. Pseudomembranous candidiasis infections often manifest as white, plaque-like lesions that can be removed by scraping with a dry gauze or tongue depressor. The underlying mucosa may have minimal changes or appear erythematous.
