Microbes and Their Role in the Oral-Systemic Connection: A Review of Recent Literature
Sanda Moldovan, DDS, MS, CNS
Examining the literature available in the past several years, this article presents recently reported associations between oral and systemic health, as well as mechanisms recently uncovered through which oral bacteria influences systemic conditions. This article also describes the mechanism of inflammation and autoimmune triggers. A common thread among most of the studies reviewed is an oral or gut dysbiosis. Understanding the oral microbiome in health and disease and how to change its composition will become increasingly important in future therapies. Early detection of oral microbes can be achieved easily and accurately in the dental office through the use of salivary diagnostic testing.
