Abstract

The oral microbiome, a thriving consortium of microorganisms encompassing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea, orchestrates a symphony of interactions that sculpt the equilibrium of the oral ecosystem and transcend their impact to systemic health. This comprehensive scientific review embarks on an expedition into the intricate and multifaceted interrelationship between oral health and the oral microbiome. It embarks on a profound journey, unearthing the profound composition, functions, the pivotal role it plays in the pathogenesis of diseases, and emerging therapeutic avenues. Bolstered by a wealth of robust scientific evidence, this review offers an in-depth understanding of the profoundly complex and dynamic interplay between oral health and the microbiome.
