The Oralome Spectrum: Microbial Balance Between Health and Disease
Abstract: The human body harbours a diverse array of symbiotic and commensal microorganisms across various sites, including the skin, oral cavity, digestive, and reproductive tracts, where they contribute to health and homeostasis. Among them, one of the most diverse microbial communities is found in the oral cavity. This complex ecosystem includes bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, which interact dynamically with the host. The oralome, the diverse microbial community within the oral cavity, plays a crucial role in maintaining periodontal health or driving disease progression. A balanced oralome supports homeostasis, while dysbiosis can lead to chronic inflammation and periodontal destruction. This review explores microbial shifts, oralome dysbiosis, and its role in diagnostics and therapy, paving the way for precision-based periodontal management.
