The microbiological characteristics of both caries and periodontal disease show significant
change from those in health. In both instances, there is evidence of co‐association of …

The gingival sulcus contains a complex ecosystem that includes many uncultivated bacteria.
Understanding the dynamics of this ecosystem in transitions between health and disease is …

The human mouth harbours one of the most diverse microbiomes in the human body,
including viruses, fungi, protozoa, archaea and bacteria. The bacteria are responsible for the …

Most studies of the bacterial etiology of periodontitis have used either culture-based or
targeted DNA approaches, and so it is likely that pathogens remain undiscovered. The …

The human oral microbiome refers to an ecological community of symbiotic and pathogenic
microorganisms found in the oral cavity. The oral cavity is an environment that provides …

The etiology of periodontitis has traditionally been associated to a consortium of three
bacterial species—the so-called “red-complex” of periodontal disease—which has been the …

This commentary provides background, historical context, and a critical assessment of the
concept that microbial dysbiosis drives the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. It is long …

The microbiologic etiology of periodontal disease has been confirmed by numerous studies
conducted over the years. Periodontal treatment thus focuses on the thorough removal of …

Novel approaches using OMICS techniques enable a collective assessment of multiple
related biological units, including genes, gene expression, proteins, and metabolites. In the …

The oral microbiome is incredibly complex with the average adult harboring about 50–100
billion bacteria in the oral cavity, which represent about 200 predominant bacterial species …
