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 …

The last decade has witnessed unparalleled advances in our understanding of the
complexity of the oral microbiome and the compositional changes that occur in subgingival …

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

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 review discusses polymicrobial interactions with the host in both health and disease. As
our ability to identify specific bacterial clonal types, with respect to their abundance and …

In the mid-1960s the microbial aetiology of periodontal diseases was introduced based on
classical experimental gingivitis studies. Since then, numerous studies have addressed the …

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are the pathological manifestation of the host response
against the bacterial challenge from the dental biofilm at the tooth/gingival interface. The …

The human subgingival environment is a complex environmental niche where
microorganisms from the three domains of life meet to form diverse biofilm communities that …

Historically, periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) has been recognized as being
primarily of bacterial origin. However, recent evidence indicates that while bacteria are …

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