Microbiotics in Dentistry

Microbiotics in Dentistry explores the complex interactions between oral microorganisms and the health of dental tissues. The book covers the composition and behavior of the oral microbiome, emphasizing how shifts in microbial balance contribute to common dental diseases such as caries, periodontal disease, and oral infections. It highlights modern diagnostic tools, preventive strategies, and treatments aimed at managing pathogenic biofilms while supporting beneficial microbes. Additionally, it examines the role of probiotics, antimicrobial agents, and emerging biotechnologies in promoting oral health. Through an integration of microbiology, clinical practice, and current research, the text provides a foundational understanding of how microbial ecology shapes dental outcomes.
