UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study was to detect Candida spp. on the tongue and in the subgingival sites in healthy and @entity2175 ( @entity2175 ) @entity1 with @entity7278 ( @entity7278 ), and to compare the accuracy of sampling methods. This study included 131 @entity1 divided into four groups: healthy control (group A), nondiabetics + @entity7278 ( @entity1892 ), @entity6 with good metabolic control + @entity7278 (group C) and @entity6 with poor glycoregulation + @entity7278 (Group D). @entity2708 swab samples from tongue and subgingival samples were obtained from each @entity1 with help of sterile paper points and a sterile curette. Swab cultures were made on Sabouraud dextrose agar. The number of CFUs was counted. The sampling methods for @entity527 were compared by Receiving Operator Curve (ROC). The presence of Candida spp. on the tongue was statistically significant among groups (group D vs. others three groups:   2: p < 0.005 for each group). Positive findings of subgingival Candida spp. did not differ among the groups. There were no significant differences in the quantification of Candida spp., neither on the tongue, nor in the subgingival samples. 17.2% of @entity6 @entity1 revealed the presence of Candida spp. in the subgingival samples, with negative finding on tongue. There was a significant difference in the sampling methods for @entity527 (p = 0.000). Candida spp. is more prevalent on the tongue of @entity6 . The sampling of @entity527 by a sterile curette is more accurate than with paper points. @entity527 may represent a reservoir of commensals. It is necessary to standardize the sampling of @entity527 .
