Background: Low saliva pH is supposed to increase Candida sp activity because low saliva pH can cause immunocompromising.
Objective: To determine the effect of saliva pH on the activity of Candida albicans.
Methods: Secondary data from literature studies were analyzed descriptively by presenting the results of research on the effect of saliva pH on the activity of Candida albicans.
Results: The results of the study reveal that decreasing salivary pH can increase the activity of Candida albicans in the oral cavity, which is characterized by the growth of hyphae and colonization of the microbiota itself as well as manifestations that can be seen clinically, such as oral candidiasis.
Conclusion: Salivary pH levels can influence the activity of Candida albicans in the oral cavity.
