AI Article Synopsis
- - Oral candidiasis is a fungal infection that can occur in people with weakened immune systems, and it can sometimes arise in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- - A unique case is reported involving a healthy 16-year-old girl who developed oral thrush on her tongue and a related sore on the roof of her mouth due to her braces.
- - The condition was likely worsened by her fixed orthodontic appliance and a low pH in her saliva, which can contribute to the growth of the fungus.
Article Abstract
Oral candidiasis is a well-recognized opportunistic fungal infection whereas orthodontic therapy is a well-established treatment with few risks. We report here an unusual case of oral thrush of tongue with erythematous palatal 'kissing lesion' in an otherwise healthy 16-year-old girl, complicated by her fixed orthodontic appliance and low salivary pH.
