Oral microbiology and periodontitis research
Oral microbiology and periodontitis research is a research topic within Periodontics. Science Explorer counts 54k research works in it since 1950. 20.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the study of periodontal diseases, oral microbiome, bacterial diversity in gingival plaque, and their systemic impact. It explores the relationship between periodontitis and systemic inflammation, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and pregnancy outcomes. The research also delves into the microbial ecology of the oral cavity, host-microbe interactions, and the role of inflammatory pathways in periodontal tissue destruction.
