Dysbiosis of the subgingival microbiome and relation to periodontal disease in association with obesity and overweight


  • Obesity is a global public health issue, that can cause various diseases in different organs and systems in the body such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer.
  • Obesity is also recognizable as a cause of diseases in the oral cavity.
  • The oral cavity hosts one of the most diverse microbial communities within the human body.
  • The oral microbiome is nowadays considered as a key determinant of oral and systemic health.
  • Microbiota can influence the host’s metabolic functions either directly by affecting energy and nutrient availability or indirectly via modulation of signalling pathways through bacterial by-products as short chain fatty acids.
  • Obesity causes gut dysbiosis; nevertheless, little is known on the oral microbiome.
  • Thus, it is important to analyze microbiota alteration in the obese and overweight populations to understand the changes in the microbiome, and relation to various diseases, including those affecting the oral cavity.
