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 indicate that periodontitis is driven by reciprocally reinforced interactions
between a dysbiotic microbiome and dysregulated inflammation. Inflammation is not only a …

The dynamic and polymicrobial oral microbiome is a direct precursor of diseases such as
dental caries and periodontitis, two of the most prevalent microbially induced disorders …

The primary etiological agent for the initiation and progression of periodontal disease is the
dental plaque biofilm which is an organized aggregation of microorganisms residing within a …

In health, indigenous polymicrobial communities at mucosal surfaces maintain an ecological
balance via both inter‐microbial and host‐microbial interactions that promote their own and …

Oral microbiota are among the most diverse in the human body. More than 700 species
have been identified in the mouth, and new sequencing methods are allowing us to discover …

Background The oral microbiome is diverse and exists as multispecies microbial
communities on oral surfaces in structurally and functionally organized biofilms. Aim To …

Periodontitis is one of the most common human inflammatory diseases, yet the mechanisms
that drive immunopathology and could be therapeutically targeted are not well defined …

This review considers an integrated hypothesis of dental caries and periodontal diseases
that builds on theoretical ecological principles. The backbone of the hypothesis is based on …
