| Summary: | to study the frequency of Candida albicans in Hawley plates' wearers compared to pediatric patients who do not wear orthodontic appliances. Material and method: we performed bacteriological examinations to highlight Candida in patients with and without Hawley plates. The study group consisted of 85 patients that were divided according two criteria: age and whether or not they wore Hawley plates. Statistical analysis was performed using the coefficient of determination R-squared. Results: The regression coefficient of 0.07 means there is no link between Candida albicans and age for patients with Hawley plates. The regression coefficient of 0.84 means that there is a fairly close correlation between the presence of Candida and patients who do not wear Hawley plates. We found a good correlation (0.75) between the presence of Candida albicans in the condition of the plaque wearing and how the situation would have been if the patients hadn't worn it. Conclusion: Hawley plates are predicting factors for Candida albicans, and in the case of wearers, the possibility of candidiasis increases with age. |
