Reduced saliva flow (xerostomia) can lead to Candida overgrowth, as saliva contains antibacterial components such as histatins and \u03b2-defensins that inhibit fungal growth and adhesion to the oral mucosa. Candida adheres to host tissues, forms biofilms, and secretes enzymes required for tissue invasion and immune evasion. Secretory asparaginyl proteinases (Saps) and candidalysin, a cytolytic peptide toxin, are vital to Candida virulence, and agglutinin-like sequence (Als) proteins are crucial for adhesion, invasion, and biofilm formation. C. albicans is a risk factor for dental caries and may increase periodontal disease virulence when it coexists with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Candida infections have been suggested to heighten the risk of oral cancer based on a relationship between Candida species and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) or oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD). Meanwhile, \u03b2-glucan in the Candida cell wall has antitumor effects. In addition, Candida biofilms protect viruses such as herpesviruses and coxsackieviruses. Understanding the intricate interactions between Candida species, host immune responses, and coexisting microbial communities is essential for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies against oral Candida infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms13040717","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T06:25:15Z","timestamp":1742883915000},"page":"717","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Candida Infections: The Role of Saliva in Oral Health\u2014A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2782-2763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riyoko","family":"Tamai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medical Science, Ohu University School of Dentistry, 31-1 Misumido, Tomitamachi, Koriyama, Fukushima 963-8611, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Kiyoura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medical Science, Ohu University School of Dentistry, 31-1 Misumido, Tomitamachi, Koriyama, Fukushima 963-8611, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Valand, N., Gazioglu, O., Yesilkaya, H., Shivkumar, M., Horley, N., Arroo, R., Wallis, R., Kishore, U., and Venkatraman Girija, U.
