Abstract
Oral candida in subjects who sucked dummies was almost double that of controls. Although the carriage of Candida albicans on silicone dummies was significantly reduced compared with latex dummies, oral colonization was unaffected, suggesting that dummy carriage is not the cause of the observed increase.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
