Abstract

Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ diseases. However, organ transplant recipients are susceptible to a wide variety of oral diseases, including gingival enlargement, periodontitis, oral mucosal diseases, oral malignant tumors, and dental caries. Oral microbiota may have played an important role in the organ transplant patients' increased susceptibility to oral diseases and is associated with adverse events after organ transplantation, which is gradually gaining more attention among scholars. We, herein, reviewed the common oral diseases, including periodontal tissue diseases, oral mucosal diseases, oral malignant tumors, and dental caries in organ transplantation patients. Furthermore, we discussed the characteristic changes in the oral microbiota of organ transplantation patients and the influencing factors of these changes. In-depth study of oral microbiota of organ transplant patients provides a reference for the prevention and treatment of relevant diseases after organ transplantation and serves an important role in oral and systemic health management of organ transplant patients.
