Abstract: Oral microorganisms play an important role in the occurrence and development of caries. In addition to bacterial caries, evidence supports oral fungi involve in the caries process and interact with bacteria. At the same time, there is also evidence that fungi can inhibit the cariogenic process by bacteria inhibition. By analyzing recent evidences, this paper analyzes the mechanism of fungal caries and puts forward the remained questions on fungal research.
