Summary

Inter-individual differences significantly impacted oral microbiome composition, while specific tooth locations had minimal effect on subgingival morphotype distribution in healthy individuals. Bacterial counts varied by site, with posterior teeth harboring more bacteria.

Are Dental Implants a Panacea or Should We Better Strive to Save Teeth?

Journal of dental research·2015

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Periodontology
  • Oral Health

Background:

  • Subgingival plaque harbors diverse bacterial morphotypes.
  • Understanding microbial distribution is crucial for periodontal health.
  • Oral hygiene cessation allows for microbial shifts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of sampling site location on subgingival bacterial morphotype distribution.
  • To analyze inter-individual variations in oral microbiome composition.
  • To assess the reproducibility of bacterial morphotype analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Subgingival plaque samples collected from periodontally healthy individuals.
  • Darkfield microscopy used for morphotype analysis.
  • Multiple regression analysis employed to study site influence.

Main Results:

  • Significant inter-individual differences observed in cocci, nonmotile rods, and fusiform proportions.
  • Site location did not significantly influence morphotype distribution.
  • Total bacterial counts were higher in distal-buccal and posterior sites compared to lingual and anterior sites.

Conclusions:

  • Individual variation is a major factor in subgingival microbiota composition.
  • Site location has a limited impact on the types of bacteria present.
  • Bacterial load varies across different tooth surfaces and positions.
