Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oral microbiota represents an important part of the human microbiota and includes several thousand species. The oral cavity has an important function: to protect against local colonization of bacteria. The biological mechanisms explaining such relationships and interactions of the microbiome/microbiota have not been fully described between local and systemic body sites. For instance, it has been suggested that intestinal microbiota could affect non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, several studies have shown that the dysregulation of the oral microbiota plays a crucial role in human health and disease conditions, such as periodontitis, lesions caries, and oral cancer. Thus, it is important evidence of how this sensitive ecosystem turns out of balance, and it becomes a challenge for local or systemic health and diseases.
This Special Issue on “Advances in the Oral Microbiota” welcomes submissions of recent work on this important area for the oral microbiota and the relationship between oral microbiota and oral or systemic diseases.
