1. Acute form
1. Pseudomembranous
2. Erythematous
2. Chronic form
1. Pseudomembranous
2. Erythematous
3. Hyperplastic
2. Secondary Oral Candidosis (Group 2)
– Oral manifestations of systemic
mucocutaneous candidosis
13. Diagnosis of Oral Candidosis

period)

19.
20. Comparison of Pseudo membranous
lesions with White lesions
• Pseudomembrane can be easily wiped off and
the area left behind is red and bleeding.
• This is a test to differentiate the white patch of
pseudomembrane from the patch of white lesions
22. Acute Erythematous Candidosis
CAUSE:
Increased population of lactobacilli causes a
decrease in pH, which diminishes the Candida
population and this in turn results in the reduction
of lactobacillus population. When the lactobacilli
are destroyed by antibiotic therapy then the
Candida organisms flourish.
23. Acute Erythematous Candidosis

• NO pseudomembrane
• Widespread erythema and
soreness of mucosa

sensation,

tissue

24. Hyperplastic Candidosis
• Chronic Keratotic Candidosis/ Candidal
leukoplakia
• characterized histologically by parakeratosis and
chronic intraepithelial inflammation with fungal
hyphe invading the superficial layer of epithelium
• It’s a Premalignant lesion
• More common in smokers
• Excessive keratinization
25. Hyperplastic Candidosis:
CLINICAL FEATURES:
• Buccal mucosa
• Commissures of lip
• Bilateral
• Raised , Irregular, Palpable
• White plaque, hard and
rough to touch
• Speckled or Nodular
26. Hyperplastic Candidosis:
• Excessive
keratinization
• The white patch
cannot be peeled off
• Diagnosis is
confirmed by biopsy
• Organism is identified
with routine
Hematoxylin and
Eosin stains OR

stain
