THE ROLE OF ORAL CAVITY MICROORGANISMS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFLAMMATION AND SOMATIC PATHOLOGY

The review presents the modern concept of the oral microbiome, its species diversity, the properties of microbial associations and their effect on the immunobiological resistance of the organism, development of chronic inflammation and two leading infectious and inflammatory diseases (dental caries and periodontal diseases). There is briefly summarized information about the presence and nature of the relationship between the composition of periodontal microorganisms and concomitant somatic diseases: in atherosclerotic plaques in cardiovascular diseases, with pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system and other organs and systems. Key words: microbiology of the oral cavity, inflammation, dental caries, periodontal diseases, interrelation of oral microbiome and somatic diseases
