Anticandidal Efficacy of a Paste Containing Capric Acid and a Lysozyme-Chitosan Oligosaccharide Conjugate.

We report a case series evaluating a novel oral care paste containing capric acid and a lysozyme-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugate (LYZOX). Ten patients with asymptomatic oral Candida colonization performed twice-daily self-care. Clinical eradication was achieved in 80% of cases, including polymicrobial infections involving Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida parapsilosis. This non-pharmacological approach effectively eliminated Candida species without adverse effects, suggesting a safe, daily preventive strategy for asymptomatic carriers in the maintenance phase of dental treatment.
