the aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of hygienic and pharmacological measures in the prevention of oropharyngeal candidiasis in children aged 0 to 3 years. Given the immaturity of the immune system and the high susceptibility of mucous membranes in early childhood, a comprehensive preventive approach was emphasized. A total of 120 children participated in the study, divided into a main and a control group. The main group received a preventive regimen that included daily oral hygiene, sterilization of feeding items, topical antifungal therapy, and probiotic administration. Over a 12-month period, a significant reduction in the incidence of oropharyngeal candidiasis was observed in the main group compared to the control group. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.01), confirming the effectiveness of the preventive strategy. These results highlight the importance of implementing systematic preventive measures in pediatric outpatient care.
