Abstract

It is suggested that individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to Candida infections than healthy people, especially if periodontal infection is associated. Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence of colonization by Candida spp. during radiographic examination in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Material and methods: Twenty-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 20 patients without diabetes mellitus, presenting chronic periodontitis and presence of Candida spp. in saliva were evaluated. During radiographic examination, samples of saliva were collected from: oral mucosa, conventional radiographic periapical film, digital x-ray sensor (CDR), and bite block of the receptor-positioning device. Colony forming units (cfu/mL) and identification of Candida yeasts were assessed. Result: Oral mucosa from both groups showed the highest colonization with Candida spp. if compared with others surfaces collected (p < 0.05). In diabetic patients, the mucosa of the upper left regions showed higher levels of colonization. In non-diabetic patients, the upper right molar region showed the highest level of colonization during the examination of the receptor-positioning device, the sensor and the non-sensitive film. Candida spp. levels in saliva were similar between diabetics (mean = 3.0 × 106) and non-diabetics (mean = 3.8 × 106). Conclusion: No difference in Candida spp. colonization (cfu/mL) in diabetics and non-diabetic patients was observed for the five collected surfaces and the simulated radiographic region. Candida albicans was the prevalent species of Candida spp. found on all the samples.

Resumo

Relata-se que indivíduos diabéticos são mais susceptíveis a infecções por Candida que indivíduos saudáveis, especialmente se doença periodontal estiver associada. Objetivo: Este estudo propôs avaliar a prevalência de colonização por Candida spp. durante o exame radiográfico em pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos. Material e método: Vinte e seis pacientes com Diabetes mellitus do tipo 2 e 20 pacientes sem Diabetes mellitus, apresentando periodontite crônica e Candida spp. na saliva, foram avaliados. Durante o exame radiográfico, amostras de saliva foram coletas: da mucosa oral, do filme radiográfico periapical convencional, sensor radiográfico digital (CDR) e bloco de mordida do posicionador de filmes. Unidades formadoras de colônia (cfu/mL) e identificação das leveduras do gênero Candida foram avaliadas. Resultado: A mucosa oral de ambos os grupos mostrou maior colonização por Candida spp. quando comparada com outras superfícies coletadas (p < 0.05). Nos pacientes diabéticos, a mucosa da região esquerda superior mostrou níveis mais altos de colonização. Nos pacientes não diabéticos, a região de molar superior direito mostrou o nível mais alto de colonização durante o exame no posicionador, no sensor e no lado do filme periapical que não fica voltado para a radiação X. Os níveis de Candida spp. na saliva foram similares entre diabéticos (média = 3.0 × 106) e não diabéticos (média = 3.8 × 106). Conclusão: Nenhuma diferença na colonização por Candida spp. (cfu/mL) em pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos foi observada nas cinco superfícies coletadas e nas regiões radiográficas simuladas. Candida albicans foi a espécie prevalente de Candida spp. encontrada em todas as amostras.
