Researchers have identified a new strain of bacteria in the mouth that may keep bad bacteria in check -- and could lead to a way to prevent cavities using probiotics.

Dental caries is the most prevalent disease in humans globally. Efforts to control it have been invigorated by an increasing knowledge of the oral microbiome composition. This study aimed to evaluate the bacterial diversity in occlusal biofilms and its relationship with clinical surface diagnosis and dietary habits. Anamneses were recorded from thirteen 12-year-old children. Biofilm samples collected from occlusal surfaces of 46 permanent second molars were analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing combined with the BLASTN-based search algorithm for species identification. The overall mean decayed, missing and filled surfaces modified index [DMFSm Index, including active white spot lesions (AWSL)] value was 8.77±7.47. Biofilm communities were highly polymicrobial collectively, representing 10 bacterial phyla, 25 classes, 29 orders, 58 families, 107 genera, 723 species. Streptococcus sp_Oral_Taxon_065, Corynebacterium matruchotii, Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces sp_Oral_Taxon_175, Actinomyces sp_Oral_Taxon_178, Actinomyces sp_Oral_Taxon_877, Prevotella nigrescens, Dialister micraerophilus, Eubacterium_XI G 1 infirmum were more abundant among surfaces with AWSL, and Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus sp._Oral_Taxon_058, Enterobacter sp._str._638 Streptococcus australis, Yersinia mollaretii, Enterobacter cloacae, Streptococcus sp._Oral_Taxon_71, Streptococcus sp._Oral_Taxon_F11, Centipeda sp._Oral_Taxon_D18 were more abundant among sound surfaces. Streptococcus mutans was detected on all surfaces in all patients, while Streptococcus sobrinus was detected only in three patients (mean relative abundances 7.1% and 0.6%, respectively). Neither species differentiated healthy from diseased sites. Diets of nine of the subjects were scored as high in fermentable carbohydrates (≧2X/day between meals). A direct association between relative abundances of bacteria and carbohydrate consumption was observed among 18 species. High consumption of fermentable carbohydrates and sound surfaces were associated with a reduction in bacterial diversity. PCoA plots displayed differences in bacterial community profiles between sound and diseased surfaces. Our study showed that, in addition to mutans streptococci, other species may be associated with the initiation of dental caries on occlusal surfaces, and that biofilm diversity of tooth surfaces is influenced by carbohydrate consumption and a surface’s health status.

The Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), recommendations are for removing existing dental mercury amalgam fillings safely.

The first data on dental fillings that can actively repair tooth decay has been presented by a researcher. This data, indicating smart repair of tooth decay, prolonging the life of composite fillings and reducing the need for mercury based amalgams indicates a significant step forward in tooth restorative materials.

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is the single most common chronic childhood disease. In fact, it is an infectious disease, new research demonstrates. Mothers with cavities can transmit caries-producing oral bacteria to their babies when they clean pacifiers by sticking them in their own mouths or by sharing spoons. Parents should make their own oral health care a priority in order to help their children stay healthy.

Can Gluten Cause Cavities? Is gluten consumption linked to enamel erosion? These are questions that researchers are answering... Dental research shows that eating gluten can actually cause erosion of tooth enamel. This in turn can lead to an increased risk for developing cavities. Several studies show the connection. Additionally, research states that tooth erosion can be the only symptom of gluten sensitivity, gluten intolerance, or celiac disease for some people. If you struggle with poor dentition despite good oral hygiene practices, you might consider a gluten free diet.

You can see how one complication can quickly lead to another, resulting in a domino effect, with gluten sensitivity at the root of it all. The following are examples of how nutrient deficiencies can lead to oral health concerns. Iron Can cause angular stomatitis, causing saliva buildup at the corners of the mouth. Microorganisms build up, leading to painful burning sores and dry lips. Vitamin D Can cause enlarged andenoids, compromising tooth integrity, and abnormal patterns in the alveolar bone (part of the jaw that supports the teeth). * can manifest as Andenotonsillar Hypertrophy Zinc Can cause loss of sensation in the tongue, loss of taste, dry mouth, and susceptibility to gum disease. Vitamin C Can cause irregular formation of dentin, alterations of the dental pulp, bleeding gums, delayed would healing in the mouth, and defective collagen formation. Vitam B1, B2, B3 Can cause inflammation of the tongue and cheilosis, corners of the mouth become inflamed, leading to pain and potentially bleeding, making it difficult to yawn, chew or speak. Vitamin B6 Can lead to periodontal disease, anemia, sore tongue, and burning in the mouth. Vitamin B12 Can lead to bone loss around the teeth, hemorrhagic gingivitis, detachment of periodontal fibers, painful ulcers in the mouth, and angular cheilosis. Vitamin A Can cause impaired tooth formation, enamel hypoplasia, and decreased epithelial tissue development.

A dental researcher explores microbiological mechanisms as World Health Organization urges for a day of abstinence from tobacco use on May 31. Cigarette smoke and its components promote biofilm formation by several pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, report scientists.

Smoking drastically alters the oral microbiome, the mix of roughly 600 bacterial species that live in people's mouths, a new study has found. The researchers say their analysis is the most comprehensive to date to examine the effects of smoking on the make-up and action of bacterial species in the human mouth based on precise genetic testing.

Regarded as a legendary healing compound, scientific evidence shows that hydrogen peroxide mouthwash and bleaching is actually harmful for teeth and may cause tissue irritation and teeth sensitivity and compromise long-term dental health

New research suggests that it is essential for older adults to receive adequate dental care, as well as the support they need to maintain good oral health self-care.
