Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, interest in the oral microbiome and infection has undergone a tremendous evolution, mostly due to the development and diffusion of the NGS analysis of plaque and saliva samples.
Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated that new diagnostic perspectives are obtainable through the analysis of salivary samples.
At the same time, procedures that are involved in oral microbiota modulation have been investigated and proposed as methods to address oral diseases.
Furthermore, the pandemic period gave a tremendous impetus to the research of probiotics, toothpastes, and oral rinses that have the specific aim of preventing oral disease and promoting oral health.
The aim of this Special Issue is to evaluate what we know about these aspects of oral care and how these could be used to control cross-infections and modulate systemic inflammation.
