[Oral Microbiome and Systemic Diseases]

As one of the most diverse microbial communities within the human body, the oral microbiome is an important component that contributes to the maintenance of human health. The microbial composition of different sites in the oral cavity varies significantly and a dynamic equilibrium is maintained through communications with the environment and oral and distal organs of the host. It has been reported that there is significant correlation between dysbiotic oral microbiome and the occurrence or progression of a variety of systemic diseases. In this review, we summarized recent advances in research on the relationship between oral microbiome and systemic health, focusing on the interaction and pathological mechanisms between oral microbiome and systemic health and hoping to provide new avenues for the early prevention and clinical diagnosis and treatment of systemic diseases.
