Abstract

Microbes appear in every corner of human life, and microbes affect every aspect of human life. The human oral cavity contains a number of different habitats. Synergy and interaction of variable oral microorganisms help human body against invasion of undesirable stimulation outside. However, imbalance of microbial flora contributes to oral diseases and systemic diseases. Oral microbiomes play an important role in the human microbial community and human health. The use of recently developed molecular methods has greatly expanded our knowledge of the composition and function of the oral microbiome in health and disease. Studies in oral microbiomes and their interactions with microbiomes in variable body sites and variable health condition are critical in our cognition of our body and how to make effect on human health improvement.

  • Fixed appliance treatment is associated with increased bacterial accumulation, which may alter the oral ecosystem towards pathogenic colonization, and increases the risk of caries, periodontal inflammation, and enamel demineralization.

    “Fixed appliance treatment is associated with increased bacterial accumulation, which may alter the oral ecosystem towards pathogenic colonization [7, 8], and increases the risk of caries, periodontal inflammation, and enamel demineralization [6, 9].”

    From Influence of elastomeric and steel ligatures on periodontal health during fixed appliance orthodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2024) · cites this paper as [7]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says that an imbalance of oral microbes contributes to caries and periodontitis, supporting the general link between a changed oral ecosystem and disease. The Caries and Periodontal diseases sections also discuss disease-associated bacteria. However, the paper does not link fixed appliances to increased bacterial accumulation or pathogenic colonization; the sentence cites other sources for the specific disease-risk outcomes.

  • The nonshedding enamel surfaces, the gingival crevice, the mucosal epithelium of the cheeks, the tongue dorsum, and tonsillar crypts together present the oral cavity as a complex microbial environment with wide-ranging topography.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
