Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Potential Applications of Nano Silver Fluoride in the Prevention of Dental Caries in Older Adults: A Scoping Review

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental caries remains highly prevalent in older adults and represents a growing public health concern due to increased tooth retention, polypharmacy, hyposalivation and functional limitations. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is widely used for caries arrest in this population but causes undesirable tooth staining. Nano Silver Fluoride

Blood Groups and Susceptibility to Dental Caries.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1931
Since it is generally known that in many cases immunity to dental caries is apparently inherited, it was considered possible that this immunity or, conversely, great susceptibility might be linked with the blood group of the individual. To test this possibility bloods from a number of individuals with a history of freedom from decay and shown by dental
