Recent advancements in the periodontal research field are consistent with a new model of
pathogenesis according to which periodontitis is initiated by a synergistic and dysbiotic …

Recent studies have uncovered novel mechanisms underlying the breakdown of periodontal
host–microbe homeostasis, which can precipitate dysbiosis and periodontitis in susceptible …

New concepts evolve when existing ones fail to address known factors adequately or are
invalidated by new evidence. For decades periodontitis has been considered to be caused …

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

As one of the most clinically relevant human habitats, the human mouth is colonized by a set
of microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses. Increasing evidence has …

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 …

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation that develops due to a destructive tissue response to
prolonged inflammation and a disturbed homeostasis (dysbiosis) in the interplay between …
