      <Abstract>Fungal infections have become more common in recent decades, and they are now recognized as major sources of morbidity and mortality. New antifungal therapies are undeniably required to combat harmful fungi. Some current antifungal agents present significant challenges, such as hydrophobic character, toxicity, pharmacological interactions, low aqueous solubility, and low oral bioavailability, which limit their clinical benefits. The oral mucosa is a potential site for drug delivery. Oral mucosa has several advantages for drug administration, including the avoidance of first-pass metabolism and low enzymatic activity, which may improve drug bioavailability and, as a result, patient compliance. Antifungals are effective against numerous types of infectious fungal diseases of mouth and are usually meant for the topical application to the oral mucosa. There are a number of possible applications for biopharmaceutical delivery to the oral mucosa. These include antimicrobial peptides as a treatment for bacterial and fungal infections. Mouthwashes, gel tablets, and dissolvable films are the most commonly used formulations for targeting the oral mucosa. Polyenes, azoles, allylamines, and echinocandin are the four primary types of currently available medicines for the treatment of invasive fungal infections, based on their mechanism of action. A review explores the most current discoveries in drug resistance mechanisms and their avoidance. Focusing on various types of antifungal agents and their therapies, such as combination therapy, may improve antifungal therapy. We also explain new strategies for developing antifungal agents that can be used to treat oral mucosal infections.</Abstract>
