Gut-oral microbiome axis – Role in oral health and pathogenesis

The gut contains different type of microbiome which significantly control immune system and metabolism of body. These gut microbiomes have bidirectional connection with oral cavity known as gut-oral microbiome axis. So, disturbance in gut microbiome cause several oral diseases such as oral candidiasis, periodontal disease and OLP (oral lichen planus). The understanding of gut-oral microbiome axis provides new therapeutic and preventive strategies. This article mainly includes the composition, function, interaction of microbes and role of microbiome therapy, dietary modulation, prebiotics and probiotics to maintain oral wellness by gut microbiome balance.
