Periodontitis is a significant oral health issue characterized by inflammation and destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth.

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and impact of Candida albicans in Syrian patients diagnosed with periodontitis, contributing to a better understanding of its role in oral health within this population.
