Description
Summary:[...]fourth, fifth, sixth and more than 6 months after the placement of appliances, plaque samples were collected again from the same site before treatment. Oral mucosal cells, which act as mechanical barriers, and metabolism play important roles in increasing the resistance of the mouth to infection. [...]Candida can easily adhere to any damage in the oral epithelia. The results of the investigation in this study showing the significant differences in sex group after insertion of orthodontic appliances which leads to alter the ecological environment in the oral cavity by introducing new stagnant areas available for the bacterial colonization and retention of substances in tow figures as mixed and single growth. the single growth more than mixed in males and visa versa in females, this observation may be due to hormonal changes and physiological activity differences between them (10, 21).On the other hand, Arendorf and Walker (22) have shown that the presence of prosthesis or an appliance increase Candidial numbers, not only at the occluded site, but at all mucosal sites sampled. [...]it is possible that orthodontic appliances may affect oral coliform colonization and carriage in the adults.
