Oral Microbiome and Multiple Sclerosis? A Novel Concept!

Abstract

Human oral microbiota refers to the significant number of microorganisms that exist in the human mouth. It is one of the most intricate microbial populations in the human body. Recent studies have suggested the role of the oral microbiome in diverse nervous system diseases. Consequently, investigating the impact of the oral microbiome in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) could reveal potential associations with the disease. In this review, the role of oral microbiota in MS patients has been addressed. The findings of this study hold promise for future approaches to oral and dental health in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Also, In the future, oral microbiota may become a new target for uncovering novel approaches to prevent and/or treat MS.
