Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The oral microbiome has a significant impact on human health and diseases; next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics provide us with valuable information on this important role. The field of research has propagated from infectious diseases to noncommunicable disease. The oral microbiome changes throughout life’s stages, having an effect on dental diseases. Thus, it is essential to identify the pathogenic oral microbiome, not only for oral disease but also for systemic diseases, as it represents a mortality risk for older people. In addition, the healthy microbiome and core oral microbiome must be identified. There are many issues that must be resolved; however, information on the human oral microbiome is not enough. If you are currently engaged in state-of-the-art research that involves any aspect of the oral microbiome, you are invited to contribute to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the longitudinal efficacy between chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX; 0.12%) and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in reducing oral biofilm pathogenicity, utilizing a quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D) camera. Oral microcosm biofilms were developed for 2 days on 57 hydroxyapatite disks. These [...] Read more.
This study aimed to compare the longitudinal efficacy between chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX; 0.12%) and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in reducing oral biofilm pathogenicity, utilizing a quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D) camera. Oral microcosm biofilms were developed for 2 days on 57 hydroxyapatite disks. These biofilms were treated with distilled water for 1 min, CHX for 1 min, and CAP for 2 min over the course of 6 days. The red fluorescence intensities of the biofilms were measured using a QLF-D and expressed as pre- and post-treatment red/green ratios (RatioR/G). The bacterial viability (ratio of the green-stained area to the total stained area, RatioG/G+R) was calculated using live/dead bacterial staining; the total and aciduric bacterial counts were determined. A significant intergroup difference was found between RatioR/G changes according to the treatment period (p < 0.001). The RatioR/G observed within the CAP-treated group was significantly lower compared with the CHX-treated group at every interval of measurement (p < 0.001). The CAP-treated group also exhibited a lower RatioG/G+R and more weakened bacterial aggregation compared with the CHX-treated group (p < 0.05). In the group treated with CAP, the counts of both total and aciduric bacteria were substantially reduced compared with the DW group, with a statistically significant reduction (p < 0.001). Therefore, CAP may be more effective in minimizing oral microcosm biofilm pathogenicity than 0.12% CHX. Full article

This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of peri-implantitis on the components of metabolic syndrome, and to provide suggestions on the management of peri-implantitis patients with metabolic disorders. A search for relevant records was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Global Health on 1st September 2023. Clinical trials, cohort studies, cross-sectional studies, and case-control studies containing comparisons of metabolic factors between patients with and without peri-implantitis were considered eligible. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. Out of 1158 records identified, 5 cross-sectional studies were eligible for final inclusion. Two studies reported significant differences in the lipid profile of patients with peri-implantitis, one of which reported higher total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels, while the other reported higher triglyceride levels. Another study reported significantly higher HbA1c levels in patients with peri-implantitis. The remaining two studies containing comparisons of BMI between patients with and without peri-implantitis indicated no significant differences. Overall, there are suggestions that peri-implantitis is associated with altered metabolic factors, including lipid profile and HbA1c level. However, there is not enough evidence to support these clinical implications due to the paucity of related literature and the low evidence level of the included studies. More investigations with stronger evidence levels are needed to narrow this gap of knowledge. Full article
