Objective Periodontitis and peri‐implantitis are oral infectious–inflammatory diseases that
share similarities in their pathology and etiology. Our objective was to characterize the …

The majority of commensal oral streptococci are able to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
during aerobic growth, which can diffuse through the cell membrane and inhibit competing …

Streptococcus dentisani 7746, isolated from dental plaque of caries-free individuals, has
been shown to have several beneficial effects in vitro which could contribute to promote oral …
