Abstract

The oral microbiome has emerged as a critical focus in understanding the interconnectedness of oral and systemic health. This microbial community, comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea, plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis and contributing to disease when dysbiosis occurs. Recent advances in sequencing technologies have facilitated a deeper understanding of the oral microbiome's composition, functions, and its implications for human health. This literature review highlights the role of the oral microbiome in oral diseases and systemic conditions, its potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic target, and future directions in microbiome research.

Keywords:

Oral microbiome, Dysbiosis, Systemic health, Periodontal disease, Microbial therapies, Microbiota-host interactions.
