Background: Detailed genetic analysis of bacteria has demonstrated an unanticipated
genetic diversity within species, which often reveals evolutionary lineages that are …

Several questions need to be addressed to evaluate whether Tannerella forsythia is to be
considered a periodontal pathogen. T. forsythia has been detected in periodontal health and …

Background/aims: Oral bacteria, including cariogenic and periodontal pathogens, are
thought to be etiological factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases. To define …

Oral pathogens, including periodontopathic bacteria, are thought to be aetiological factors in
the development of cardiovascular disease. In this study, the presence of Aggregatibacter …

Many human infections are polymicrobial in origin, and interactions among community
inhabitants shape colonization patterns and pathogenic potential. Periodontitis, which is the …

Background Periodontitis and diabetes are highly prevalent conditions whose association
has long been recognized. Objective To evaluate the effect of non‐surgical periodontal …

Fusobacterium nucleatum is a common constituent of the oral microbiota in both periodontal
health and disease. Previously, we discovered ornithine cross-feeding between F …

Aim To determine in vivo, the degree of microbial reduction after chemo‐mechanical
preparation of human root canals containing necrotic pulp tissue when using two endodontic …

Aim: To compare the early bacterial colonization and soft tissue health of mucosa adjacent
to zirconia (ZrO2) and titanium (Ti) abutment surfaces in vivo. Materials and methods …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …
