It is interesting and useful to review the different mycoses which can affect oral and maxillofacial tissues. In this review, all mycoses which can involve these tissues are described, based on a simple classification into superficial and deep mycoses. The superficial mycoses described are the dermatophytoses, the Tineas, the piedras, but also the candidoses, which are superficial opportunistic infections. The deep mycoses are subdivided into subcutaneous, systemic, and opportunistic mycoses. Subcutaneous fungal infections are sporotrichosis, lobomycosis, rhinosporidiosis, entomophtoromycoses, and chromomycoses. Systemic fungal infections are paracoccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, histoplasmosis duboisii, and coccidioidomycosis. Opportunistic mycoses are aspergillosis, mucormycosis, geotrichosis, torulopsosis (considered nowadays as a candidosis), basidiomycosis, cephalosporiomycosis, alternariosis, cercosporomycosis, paecilomycosis, and fusariomycosis. Eumycotic mycetomas are also cited.

The type of fungal infection and the immunologic status of the patient determine whether drug therapy should be used. Amphotericin B is the single most important antifungal agent for the treatment of systemic mycoses. Flucytosine is given adjunctively with amphotericin B. Miconazole, a new parenteral agent, may be useful in treating candidiasis, cryptococcosis, paracoccidioidomycosis and coccidioidomycosis. Potassium iodide is used to treat lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis, bronchopulmonary geotrichosis and chromoblastomycosis. Nystatin, tolnaftate, clotrimazole and haloprogin are used for mucocutaneous infections. Griseofulvin is limited to the treatment of skin and nail infections caused by dermatophytes.
