Oral microbiome research from a public health perspective and implications for oral health.
Community Dental Health 2024 Februrary 14
Advancing oral microbiome research has revealed the association between oral microbiome composition and oral disease. However, much of the research has predominantly focused on comparing health and disease conditions, overlooking the potential dental public health implications. This article examines the evolution of oral microbial research from inception, advancement, and current knowledge of health-associated microbiota. Specifically, we focus on two key aspects: the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on the oral microbiome and using the oral microbes as a therapeutic modality. The complex interaction of host intrinsic, environmental, and lifestyle factors affects the occurrence and development of the oral microbiota. The article highlights the need for ongoing research that embraces population diversity to promote health equity in oral health research and integrate public health practices into microbiome-based research. The implication of population-level interventions and targeted approaches harnessing the oral microbiome as an intervention, such as oral microbiome transplantation, should be further explored.
