“…Physical, chemical and immunohistochemical factors also influence the bacterial environment in the mouth [ 5 ]. These are temperature, redox potential (Eh) [ 6 ], concentration of hydrogen ions, availability of nutrients, colonization with microflora, pH of saliva [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], order of oral cavity colonization or resistance to it [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], conditions of bacterial adhesion to plaque [ 4 , 12 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. These conditions are constantly changing as food is introduced into the oral cavity, which lowers the pH, favoring the development of carious lesions in the tooth tissues.…”

“…Carbohydrates are converted into glucans and fructans, and they also contribute significantly to the formation of plaque. The bacteria that live in it, i.e., S. mutans , S. gordonii , Lactobacillus , are responsible for the acidification of the environment, which promotes the demineralization of enamel and dentin [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Other substances are, for example, polypeptides that bind saliva glycoproteins to cells from other bacteria or to calcium ions.…”

“…Not removed for 7–10 days, it is visible on the teeth with the naked eye. It contains 70% of microorganisms (anaerobic bacteria, fungi, viruses) and 30% of an organic matrix-the “skeleton” that binds these components together [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , …”

“…On the gingival margin and on the crown, it is often discolored as a result of smoking, consumed food and drinks with strong dyes. The formation of calculus is influenced by the concentration of calcium and phosphorus ions in saliva and the secretion of saliva from the salivary glands, hence it is most often formed at their outlet [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. The subgingival calculus is formed apex to the gingival margin.…”

The article is a concise compendium of knowledge on the etiology of pathogenic microorganisms of all complexes causing oral diseases. The influence of particular components of the diet and the role of oxidative stress in periodontal diseases were described. The study investigated the bacteriostatic effect of the diet of adults in in vivo and in vitro tests on the formation of bacterial biofilms living in the subgingival plaque, causing diseases called periodontitis. If left untreated, periodontitis can damage the gums and alveolar bones. Anaerobic bacteria, called periopathogens or periodontopathogens, play a key role in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis. The most important periopathogens of the oral microbiota are bacteria of all complexes, including the red complex. The obtained results suggest the possibility of using a specific diet in the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases-already treated as a disease of civilization. The quoted article is an innovative compilation of knowledge on this subject and it can be a valuable source of knowledge for professional hygienists, dentists, peridontologists, dentistry students and anyone who cares about proper oral hygiene. The obtained results suggest the possibility of using this type of diet in the prophylaxis of the oral cavity in order to avoid periodontitis.

“…A non-invasive harvest protocol can be evolved due to the role of salivary biomarkers. 31 Regarding imaging prescription if mandatory, an extraoral radiograph is more preferable than intra-oral such as an orthopantomogram or cone beam computer tomography if justified to minimize the gag and cough reflexes. However, if intraoral imaging is required then the sensor should be double shielded in order to prevent crossinfection.…”

The unprecedented climate of the COVID-19 pandemic has some restrictions on oral care operational services, which heavily impacted the delivery of aerosol generating procedures (AGPs). This led the health authorities to set up guidelines and policies that should be followed to minimize the virus spread and ensure safe and effective dental care delivery. This systemic review aimed to evaluate the current guidelines and strategies in providing safe dental services and ensuring efficacy of the current universal personal preventive and protective measures, as well the impact that this outbreak might have on practicing the dental profession in full scope. The review focus questions were as follows: are the current guidelines and measures in literature mitigated enough to ensure safe and effective oral care delivery to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic? Is it possible to highlight the essential and fundamental cross-infection control measures and policies? Twenty articles were chosen out of 180,248 after the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied in the period between January 1st and August 1st 2020. Our results highlighted effective safety measures that can be implanted in protecting healthcare professionals and patients and ensuring optimal dental care delivery in a safe and healthy environment, taking into consideration the risk assessment and management of AGPs. In conclusion, informative updated standardized policies and protocols are required when more knowledge on the virus behavior keeps evolving. Moreover, there is a need for evidence-based protective measures to be modified on a regular basis to be followed, until a safe vaccine is produced.

Research status and prospects of acupuncture for prevention and treatment of chemo‐ and radiotherapy‐induced salivary gland dysfunction in head and neck cancer

Salivary gland dysfunction (SGD) induced by chemo-and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) has always been a difficult problem in modern medicine. The quality of life of a large number of HNC patients is severely impaired by SGD such as xerostomia and dysphagia. In recent years, several studies have found that acupuncture can improve patients' salivary secretion, but it has not yet been approved as an alternative therapy for SGD. For this reason, we collected the clinical study reports on acupuncture in the treatment of SGD induced by chemo-and radiotherapy in HNC patients in the past 20 years, and analyzed and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these studies with respect to tumor types, group setting, intervention modality, acupoints selection, outcome evaluation, and safety. We believed that acupuncture is beneficial for SGD, but the existing objective evidence is insufficient to support its effectiveness. Therefore, improving the Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture, selecting the optimal combination of acupoints through scientific and rigorous study design, and exploring the potential mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of diseases combined with the meridian theory may be effective ways to promote the acceptance of acupuncture as an alternative therapy for SGD in future. The significance of this review is to provide a reference for researchers to carry out high-quality clinical trials of acupuncture in the treatment of SGD in future from the perspective of the combination of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
