Background: The use of antibiotics in dentistry is associated with the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, including commensal staphylococci. Methods: A total of 367 oral samples were collected, from which staphylococci were isolated and identified by using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spe...

Background Bacterial contamination of dental professionals’ facial skin and protective equipment from treatment-related aerosols and droplets are poorly studied. Methods This prospective study analyzed samples from 67 consecutive aerosol-producing dental treatments. Sterile nylon swabs served to collect samples from dental professionals’ foreheads ...

Introduction: Campylobacter concisus is an oral bacterium that is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Barrett’s esophagus (BE). Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is an immune checkpoint protein that is used by tumor cells for immune evasion and has increased expression in patients with IBD and BE. We examined whether C. concis...

Background Limitations of current intracanal irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) necessitate the development of novel antimicrobial agents to control endodontic infection. Aim This study investigated the antimicrobial activities of a small molecule II-6s against Enterococcus faecalis associated with endodontic dise...

Introduction: The retentive niches of deep caries lesions have a distinct biome. Methods: We evaluated the site-specific (occlusal and proximal) Candida -biome of Severe-Early Childhood Caries (S-ECC) in 66- children (132 lesions). Asymptomatic primary molars fitting the definition of the International Caries Detection and Assessment-(ICDAS)-caries...

Background Salivary mucin MUC5B seems to promote biodiversity in dental biofilms, and thereby oral health, for example, by inducing synergistic 'mucolytic' activities in a variety of microbial species that need to cooperate for the release of nutrients from the complex glycoprotein. Knowledge of how early colonizers interact with host salivary prot...

Background: Electrolytes, proteins, and other salivary molecules play an important role in tooth integrity and can serve as biomarkers associated with caries. Objective: To determine the concentration of potential biomarkers in children without caries (CF) and children with caries (CA). Methods: Unstimulated saliva was collected, and the biomarkers...

Background: Hydrogen sulfide(H2S) is a bacterial metabolite produced as a result of bacterial growth in subgingival pockets, suggested to partake in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. H2S has previously been shown to induce the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 via the NLRP3 inflammasome in monocytes. Objective: To investi...
