Human oral microbial ecology and dental caries and periodontal diseases.
In the human oral cavity, which is an open growth system, bacteria must first adhere to a surface in order to be able to colonize. Ability to colonize a non-shedding tooth surface is necessary prior to any odontopathic or periodontopathic process. Complex microbe-host relationships occur and must be studied before the commensal-to-pathogenic nature of the human indigenous oral flora can be unde...
متن کاملEditorial: Common risk factors for dental caries and periodontal diseases?
It is well accepted that the dental biofilm is the main aetiological factor for the development of dental caries and periodontal diseases.6 Epidemiological data indicate that not only the prevalence of dental caries has decreased in various regions of the world, but there is also a certain decline in the prevalence of periodontitis prevalence.3,4 However, the global population growth and the in...
متن کاملChanging dental caries and periodontal disease patterns among a cohort of Ethiopian immigrants to Israel: 1999–2005
BACKGROUND Dental epidemiology has indicated that immigrants and minority ethnic groups should be regarded as high risk populations on the verge of oral health deterioration. The objectives of this study were to measure the changing pattern of dental caries, periodontal health status and tooth cleaning behaviour among a cohort of Ethiopian immigrants to Israel between the years 1999-2005. MET...
متن کاملPlaque, caries, periodontal diseases, and acculturation among Yanomamö Indians, Venezuela.
The number of DM and d teeth and surfaces was recorded for 220 Yanomamö Indians from three groups of villages with different degrees of contact with Western culture. Specimens of plaque were taken from the teeth, transported in a holding solution, cultured, and examined for specific oral streptococci. In addition, the periodontal health and oral hygiene of one group of villagers were assessed u...
متن کاملPotential of diagnostic microbiology for treatment and prognosis of dental caries and periodontal diseases.
Most evidence suggests that only a finite number of bacteria are responsible for dental caries and periodontal diseases. This knowledge led to the development of microbial tests which can identify suspected pathogens. Current evaluation of the diagnostic power of microbial tests has shown that they have a low sensitivity and a low prognostic value. Despite these shortcomings, there are valid in...
