ORAL MICROBIOTA: NORMAL AND PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS

Abstract

This article highlights the composition of the oral cavity microflora and the role of normal and pathogenic microorganisms. Normal microflora plays an important role in protecting the oral mucosa, maintaining pH balance, and initiating digestion. Pathogenic microorganisms, however, can multiply when hygiene is neglected or immunity decreases, potentially causing diseases such as caries and stomatitis.

 

Keywords
