Prevalence of Oral Microbial Flora during Orthodontic Space Closure: A Pilot Study

Oral microbial flora pdf

Microbial flora in oral diseases.

The oral cavity being the hub of gamut of microbes, promotes the establishment of distinct microbial communities, such as on the mucosa and teeth. Metabolism of these organisms facilitates the attachment and growth of the subsequent colonisers. A delicate balance is maintained in the microbial ecosystem, with these organisms contributing to normal development and defences. However, any change o...

Normal Microbial Flora of Oral Cavity

Some organisms are almost always present in a normal oral cavity and constitute constant/normal microbial flora. It is further divided into two types: indigenous & supplemental. Comprise of those species that are almost always present in high numbers (> 1%) in a particular site, such as the supra gingival...

Impact of body mass index on oral health during orthodontic treatment: an explorative pilot study.

AIM To answer the question: is there a correlation between body mass index (BMI), oral health, and patient cooperation during multibracket (MB) appliance therapy? MATERIALS AND METHODS All adolescent MB patients started and finished between 2007 and 2012 were analysed. According to their pre-treatment BMI, patients were divided into one of the following groups: normal weight, overweight, or o...
