CONTEXT: Inflammatory periodontal diseases exhibit an association with multiple systemic
conditions. Currently, there is a lack of consensus among experts on the nature of these …

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 …

Objectives and background: Members of the herpesvirus family have accumulated
considerable support for a role in severe types of periodontitis. This study aimed to examine …

The oral cavity harbors a rich and diverse microflora, which is mostly found within biofilms
attached to the various soft-and hard-tissue surfaces. Recent studies using molecular …

Periodontal diseases are initiated by bacterial species living in polymicrobial biofilms at or
below the gingival margin and progress largely as a result of the inflammation elicited by …

Periodontal disease involves complex interactions of microorganisms and host defenses.
This work investigated the associations between putative bacterial pathogens …

For millions of years, our resident microbes have coevolved and coexisted with us in a
mostly harmonious symbiotic relationship. We are not distinct entities from our microbiome …

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 …

High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing has allowed the characterization of
subgingival microbiome shifts from health to periodontitis identifying health-associated …
