Abstract
Candida is a common intra-oral commensal organism which, in certain circumstances, can become an opportunistic pathogen. Clinical manifestations in the oral cavity can be highly variable and all dental professionals should be familiar with its presentation and management. This paper explores the pathophysiology and presentation of oral candidosis, and examines the dental professionals' role in management of the condition.
