The oral microbiome, the complex ecosystem of microbes inhabiting the human mouth,
harbors several thousands of bacterial types. The proliferation of pathogenic bacteria within …

This investigation provides molecular analyses of the periodontal microbiota in health and
disease. Subgingival samples from 47 volunteers with healthy gingivae or clinically …

Until recently, the focus in dental research has been on studying a small fraction of the oral
microbiome—so-called opportunistic pathogens. With the advent of next-generation …

The oral microbiome is an emerging field that has been a topic of discussion since the
development of next generation sequencing and the implementation of the human …

The subgingival crevice harbors diverse microbial communities. Shifts in the composition of
these communities occur with the development of gingivitis and periodontitis, which are …

Although the composition of the oral human microbiome is now well studied, regulation of
genes within oral microbial communities remains mostly uncharacterized. Current concepts …

Periodontitis has a polymicrobial etiology within the framework of a complex microbial
ecosystem. With advances in sequencing technologies, comprehensive studies to elucidate …

Recent advances in our understanding of the microbial populations that colonize the human
mouth, their acquisition, interdependency, and coevolution with the host, bring a different …

This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology,
through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The …

Since the pioneering work of van Leeuwenhoek in 1684, subsequently built upon by other
renowned microbiologists Robert Koch, Willoughby Miller and GV Black, oral microbiology …
