Untreated caries in permanent teeth is the most prevalent human disease worldwide, according to the 2015 Global Burden of Disease report. Dental caries is now understood to be multifactorial, with no single causation pathway. In an article published in 2018 in the British Dental Journal Philip et al … [Read more...] about Beyond Streptococcus mutans: Clinical Implications of the Evolving Dental Caries Etiology Paradigms and its Associated Microbiome – Science Sunday
Targeting of Streptococcus mutans Biofilms by a Novel Small Molecule Prevents Dental Caries and Preserves the Oral Microbiome – Science Sunday
Previous studies have demonstrated the introduction of processed sugars coincides with the prevalence of S. mutans in dental plaque and biofilm. There is also an abundance of evidence that indicates S. mutans in the decay process leading to dental caries. In a recent study published in 2017 in the … [Read more...] about Targeting of Streptococcus mutans Biofilms by a Novel Small Molecule Prevents Dental Caries and Preserves the Oral Microbiome – Science Sunday
Relationship Between Oral and Gut Microbiota in Elderly People – Science Sunday
Epidemiological studies have shown periodontal disease is a risk factor for multiple systemic diseases such as atherosclerotic vascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. These diseases are all inflammatory diseases, recent studies suggest oral bacteria that cause … [Read more...] about Relationship Between Oral and Gut Microbiota in Elderly People – Science Sunday
