Abstract The aim of the study is to estimate the incidence or prevalence of candidiasis in patients attending dental out patient with type 2 diabetes Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection. The level in saliva is not detectible in normal healthy person. However in diabetic patients due to the increase carbohydrate level and diminished cell mediated immunity there is an increase in candidial count. Increase in candida in saliva can lead to any type of clinical conditions in mouth commonly known as thrush. 50 diabetic patients were randomly selected for study. Patients with postprandial blood sugar level which is above 200 were included. Salivary samples were collected after assessing the DMFS index and processed in candida differential media and various species of candida are identified Out of 50 patients studied 15 patients had candida in their saliva samples
