Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are attached to a surface and play a
significant role in the persistence of bacterial infections. Bacteria within a biofilm are several …

This study aimed to assess the literature available on the effects, on peri‐implant tissues, of
degradation products released from dental implants as a consequence of therapeutic …

The spatial organization of complex natural microbiomes is critical to understanding the
interactions of the individual taxa that comprise a community. Although the revolution in DNA …

Lifelong sex-and age-related trajectories of the human gut microbiota remain largely
unexplored. Using metagenomics, we derived the gut microbial composition of 2,338 adults …

Dental biofilms produce acids from carbohydrates that result in caries. According to the
extended caries ecological hypothesis, the caries process consists of 3 reversible stages …

Growth of oral bacteria in situ requires adhesion to a surface because the constant flow of
host secretions thwarts the ability of planktonic cells to grow before they are swallowed …

Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary
ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems …

Despite many discoveries over the past 20 years regarding the etio-pathogenesis of
periodontal and peri-implant diseases, as well as significant advances in our understanding …
