Comparison of Candida species isolated from children with and without early childhood caries: A descriptive cross-sectional study

Conclusion: A significant correlation was found between the presence of Candida and ECC. NAC also plays an important role in the development of ECC. The virulence factors such as phospholipase may be responsible for the pathogenicity of Candida in the development of ECC.
