Abstract

Backgrounds: Oral health predicts adverse systemic health-related outcomes, including future physical frailty. This study aimed to determine whether the salivary microbiome is associated with specific oral health indicators.

Methods: We collected oral gargle samples from 97 patients admitted to medical wards (mean age, 65 years) and assessed their oral health status. The saliva microbiota was examined via sequencing 16S rRNA genes.

Results: Among the oral health indicators, only chewing ability was associated with saliva microbiota. The alpha diversities of bacterial communities decreased as chewing ability declined. Furthermore, patients with normal and abnormal chewing ability exhibited distinct microbial compositions. The relative abundances of Lactobacillus and Limosilactobacillus were higher in the impaired chewing group, whereas Lautropia was more abundant in the normal chewing group.

Conclusions: Severe chewing disability might lead to an altered saliva microbiota. This emphasises the importance of restoring chewing function when the disability occurs.

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
