Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of material characteristics and/or surface topography on biofilm development
TL;DR: This systematic review aimed to evaluate critically the impact of surface characteristics (free energy, roughness, chemistry) on the de novo biofilm formation, especially in the supragingival and to a lesser extent in the subgingival areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotics and oral healthcare.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria Interfere with A. actinomycetemcomitans Colonization
Wim Teughels,S. Kinder Haake,I. Sliepen,Martine Pauwels,J. Van Eldere,J.-J. Cassiman,Marc Quirynen +6 more
TL;DR: Results confirmed the hypothesis that bacterial interactions interfere with A. actinomycetemcomitans colonization of epithelial cells in vitro, and demonstrated the potential beneficial effects of S. mitis, S. salivarius, and S. sanguinis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Interactions Influence Inflammatory Host Cell Responses
TL;DR: Results show that bacterial species can influence the inflammatory responses of host cells triggered by infection with A. actinomycetemcomitans, and beneficial, commensal, and pathogenic species are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Killing of anaerobic pathogens by predatory bacteria
TL;DR: It was concluded that a number of important variables involved in bacterial predation are found to be compatible with the composition of the oral microbiota, which makes the case for continued study of the potential for BALOs to combat periodontal pathogens.
