Candidiasis or oral candidosis is one of the most common human opportunistic fungal infections of the oral cavity.
This pathology has a wide variety of treatment which has been studied until these days. The present study offers
a literature review on the treatment of oral candidiasis, with the purpose of establish which treatment is the most
suitable in each case. Searching the 24 latest articles about treatment of candidiasis it concluded that the incidence
depends on the type of the candidiasis and the virulence of the infection. Although nystatin and amphotericin b were
the most drugs used locally, fluconazole oral suspension is proving to be a very effective drug in the treatment of
oral candidiasis. Fluconazole was found to be the drug of choice as a systemic treatment of oral candidiasis. Due
to its good antifungal properties, its high acceptance of the patient and its efficacy compared with other antifungal
drugs. But this drug is not always effective, so we need to evaluate and distinguish others like itraconazole or ketoconazole, in that cases when
Candida
strains resist to fluconazole.
