Preliminary Characterisation of Immune Cell Populations in the Oral Mucosa of a Small Cohort of Healthy Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris).

Pre-determined anatomical locations in the oral cavity were biopsied, and their histomorphology was characterised using haematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E). The most abundant cell type was of dendritic morphology. Lymphocyte foci were not evident in the palatoglossal folds or the gingiva. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for validated leukocyte markers followed, including CD3, CD20, CD79α, CD204, andIba1. Consistent with H&E findings, CD204 immunoreactivity predominated amongst all niches. With the exception of the alveolar mucosa and palatoglossal folds, we also demonstrate a significant difference in the population of macrophages by region for only the Iba1 antigen (p < 0.0001). B lymphocytes were found, and a significant difference was noted in the sub-epithelium where CD20-positive cells outnumbered those labelled as CD79a positive (p = 0.001), suggesting the possibility that these cells are in an active state in health. A similar significant difference was found in the subepithelial tissue for myeloid cells, as there were more cells labelled as CD204 positive over Iba1, which, along with their distribution pattern, indicates a possible functional and morphological overlap between these cells. No significant difference was found in epithelial tissues for cells of either myeloid or lymphoid origins. The results from this study suggest different regions of the oral cavity exhibit variations in the distribution of immune cells, particularly macrophages and B lymphocytes. Though more studies would be needed to confirm these findings, these differences may have implications for the immune response and overall health of the oral mucosa.

Comparative Study and Modeling of AlGaN/GaN Heterostructure HEMT and MOSHEMT Biosensors

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative study and analytical modelling of electrical performance of AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) and metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistor (MOSHEMT) biosensors. Sensing parameters such as the I-V characteristics and sensitivity parameter for biomolecules detection in the cavity region are taken into consideration. In this paper, the permittivity is varied according to the biomolecule to be sensed by the biosensor. The maximal variation of the electrical performance of the biosensor obtained is higher in HEMT as compared with MOSHEMT. The simulation results of the analytical model obtained by using MATLAB verified by a comparison with experimental data and atlas-technology computer aided design (Atlas-TCAD), and shown good agreement with each other. Thereby, we could improve the validity of the proposed model. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT have shown good sensing of 141.73 at biomolecular permittivity of 2.5 which can be used for biosensing applications effectively.

Structural analysis of superparamagnetic colloid aggregates confined in spherical cavities under external magnetic field

In this study, we investigated the behaviour of aggregates composed of superparamagnetic colloids under the influence of an external magnetic field, confined within several spherical cavities. The study included systems of two and three cavities in contact, as well as two cavities separated by a distance d along the direction of the external field. Monte Carlo computer simulations employing a model of hard spheres with central dipoles were realised to explore the behaviour of the magnetic particles, constrained to move within pairs (and trios) of spherical cavities. The primary focus of this investigation was to elucidate the structures formed by magnetic particles within systems presented here. Chains or ribbons primarily form within the central region of the spherical cavities. The aggregates within each cavity are drawn towards one another until they make contact at the closest points of the cavities. This behaviour is replicated when there is a separation distance between the spherical cavities, including cases where three cavities are in contact. This phenomenon may explain the observed attraction between magnetoliposomes as reported in the literature [García-Jimeno et al. Nanoscale. 9 (39), 15131–15143 (2017)].

Lymph nodes in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a comprehensive anatomical perspective.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) often exhibits a propensity for metastasis to lymph nodes (LNs), significantly influencing prognosis. Neck dissection (ND) is an important part in the treatment of OSCC. Variations in the preference for and pathways of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in different regions of the oral cavity have been observed. Currently, there is a lack of sufficient emphasis on the anatomical perspectives of LNM and ND. This review elucidates the lymphatic system of the maxillofacial regions from an anatomical standpoint, details the distribution of the sentinel LNs across different subsites, and summarizes the various classifications of the cervical LNs. Additionally, we elaborate on the methods used to study the lymphatic system, particularly imaging techniques. Furthermore, we investigate the pathways of cervical LNM and evaluate the efficacy of ND from an anatomical viewpoint. The overall objective of this review is to provide essential anatomical knowledge for managing LNs in OSCC, in the hope of providing patients with effective treatment modalities to enhance their quality of life.

STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF 1 AND 15μm PITCH VALUES ON THE APPARENT NANOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LASER POWDER BED FUSION-PRODUCED CuCrZr ALLOY

Material deformation due to nanoindentation is well known. However, the deformation of a material, indentation cavity, and piled-up region drastically increases and nanohardness significantly decreases if the nanoindentation is performed in such a way that the deformation of one nanoindentation affects the others. This situation arises in various materials when they are subjected to tribological application such as pantograph assembly in electric trains and contact between the electrical power supply plug and pins. This situation has been addressed in this study and the quantitative reduction in nanohardness has been evaluated in detail. In this work, the nanoindentation was performed on the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) CuCrZr alloy specimen under a load condition of 4500[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N. This test was conducted at 100 points with an array of [Formula: see text] at a 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m pitch value. Two significant findings were identified in this work. First, the indentation impression was smaller and the corresponding nanohardness and contact stiffness values were higher in the first column of 10 nanoindentations and the first row of 10 nanoindentations. The remaining 80 nanoindentations displayed contrasting behavior compared to the initial 20 nanoindentations due to the prior deformation of nearer regions. Nanohardness value decreased parabolically from the low deformation to the high deformation region. This finding was validated by increasing the pitch to 15[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m under the 4500[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]N load conditions. The piled-up region around the impression of indentation changed from a semi-circular shape at a 15[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m pitch value to a cone shape at a 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m pitch value. These findings will be beneficial for industries during the design of materials and will help reduce material failures resulting from tribological activities.

Crack coalescence and failure behaviors in slate specimens containing a circular cavity and a pre-existing flaw pair under uniaxial compression

The flaws (fractures) widely existing in rock mass pose a threat on the stability of many underground cavities. This study aims at investigating the failure process of a cavity affected by adjacent flaws. A number of slate specimens containing a circular cavity and a pre-existing flaw pair were tested under uniaxial compression. Varied flaw configurations were obtained by changing the flaw inclination angle with respect to horizontal and the spacing between flaw pair and cavity. Three main types of cracks emanated from the pre-existing flaw tips, and played a dominant role in the failure process of cavity, comprising primary wing cracks (tensile cracks) and two types of secondary cracks (quasi-coplanar shear cracks and oblique shear cracks). The initiation and propagation of these cracks were highly dependent on the flaw pair configurations. When the pre-existing flaw pairs were non-parallel to the loading direction, (1) mostly, coalescence occurred both in the tensile and compressive stress concentration regions around cavity; (2) in most cases, the quasi-coplanar and oblique shear cracks were the predominant cracks leading to the coalescence between the compressive stress concentration regions of cavity and the pre-existing flaw pair tips. When the pre-existing flaws were parallel to the loading direction, the combination of inclined shear cracks and tensile cracks or inclined shear cracks only dominated the failure of cavity. The initiation angles of wing cracks, quasi-coplanar shear cracks and oblique shear cracks agreed well with the theoretical predictions by the maximum tangential strain criterion (MTSN), Mohr-Coulomb criterion (M−C) and maximum shear stress criterion (MSS), respectively.

Influence of Rurality on Oral Cancer Trends among Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) Member Countries-A Scoping Review.

Oral cancer is the general term used to describe cancers of the oral cavity and oropharyngeal region. These cancers are one of the leading causes of death in elderly residents within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries in the 21st century. This scoping review was carried out to assess the influence of rurality on oral cancer trends and patterns among OECD member countries. Four online databases (Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL) were searched for studies that reported on oral cancer trends in rural and remote areas in OECD member countries. A total of 1143 articles were obtained initially; among them, 995 papers were screened to include 18 articles for this scoping review. Studies have reported increasing incidence and prevalence in the United States, Australia, Canada, and European countries wherein risk factors such as tobacco, alcohol, and human papilloma virus (HPV) infections were associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancers. Awareness among people living in rural areas about HPV-related cancers was very low, while rates of tobacco and alcohol abuse were noted to be rising more rapidly than among their urban counterparts. Furthermore, the ageing population was most affected compared to the younger age groups of people with oral and oropharyngeal cancer that are prevalent in these regions. Overall, despite living in developed countries, rurality was noted to be a significant factor in the lower life expectancy of oral cancer patients, mainly due to the limited accessibility to tertiary cancer care centres and advanced medical care.

Analysis of the microbial community diversity in various regions of the healthy oral cavity

BackgroundMicrobiomics offers new methods for conducting epidemiological surveys of oral microbiota in large populations. Compared to curette sampling, swab sampling is more convenient and less technically sensitive, making it more suitable for such surveys. To verify the feasibility of using swabs for buccal mucosa sampling in large-scale studies, we collected samples from the buccal mucosa and tooth surfaces of healthy individuals using both swabs and curettes. Microbiomics was employed to analyze and compare microbial abundance and diversity between these two methods.MethodsFour sites were assessed: the buccal mucosa on both sides and the buccal surfaces of the left and right mandibular first molars. Two sampling methods, swab and curette, were used to collect bacterial communities from healthy individuals. Specifically, buccal mucosa samples (n = 10) and tooth surface samples (n = 20) were analyzed using 16 S rDNA gene sequencing. Bacterial signals were detected through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), targeting the bacterial 16 S rDNA gene. Metastats analysis and Wilcoxon test were used.ResultsA total of 383 OTUs were detected in the 30 samples, which belonged to 1 kingdom (bacteria), 11 phyla, 23 classes, 40 orders, 75 families, 143 genus, and 312 species. Among them, 223 OTUs were found on both the buccal mucosa and tooth surfaces. The statistics suggest that although there were no significant differences in colony composition, there were differences in the abundance and distribution of colonies on the dental and buccal mucosal surfaces. When detecting oral disease-causing pathogens such as Enterococcus faecalis and Porphyromonas gingivalis, the efficiency of detection is higher when using curette sampling. Compared to right tooth sampling with a curette, the swab sampling group had higher levels of Firmicutes, while Fusobacteria and Bacteroidetes were more prevalent in the curette tissues.ConclusionsIn oral health individuals, there is no difference in the bacterial composition of the oral buccal mucosa and the dental surface, differing only in abundance. Thus, the buccal mucosa can act as a substitute for the teeth in epidemiological investigations exploring the bacterial composition of the oral cavity.

Novel biomimetic hybrid plasmonic nanocavity-based ECL strategy for the detection of extracellular vesicles

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles detection has emerged as an important clinical liquid biopsy approach for cancer diagnosis. In this work, we developed a novel hybrid plasmonic nanocavity consisting of hexagonal Au nanoplates nanoarray, SnS2/Au nanosheet layer and biomimetic lipid bilayer. Firstly, the hybrid plasmonic nanocavity combined the optical confinement for the ECL regulation and the biological recognition for the detection of extracellular vesicles. Secondly, MXene-derived Ti2N QDs have been prepared as ECL nanoprobe to label extracellular vesicles. Moreover, biomimetic lipid bilayer with specific aptamer was used to identify extracellular vesicles and integrate Ti2N QDs into the nanocavity with membrane fusion strategy. Due to the significant electromagnetic field enhancement at the cavity region, the hybrid plasmonic nanocavity provided strong field confinement to concentrate and redistribute the ECL emission of QDs with a 9.3-fold enhancement. The hybrid plasmonic nanocavity-based ECL sensing system improved the spatial controllability of EVs analysis and the accurate resolution of specific protein. It achieved the sensitive detection of extracellular vesicles in ascites and successfully distinguished the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.

Large eddy simulation of flow field and pollutant diffusion around buildings with different thermal stratifications

The main aim of the current article is to explore the influence of buildings on flow field structure in the surrounding area and analyze the dispersion of pollutants using the large eddy simulation (LES) model with varying Richardson numbers (Rib). The research findings indicate that the LES model effectively replicates the effect of buildings on flow field structures and pollutant dispersion, closely aligning with wind tunnel experiments (WTE) results. The impact of various Ribvalues on the flow field structure is not immediately evident within recirculation zone on building sheltered (x/H<1.0). However, the impact of thermal stratification becomes more pronounced farther downwind. In the Rib range of 0.22–0.47, significant changes occur in the vortex center position and length of the cavity region, with Rib=0.3 exhibiting a maximum cavity length of approximately 1.9 H, suggesting a potential critical Rib between 0.22 and 0.3. As Rib increases, the energy fluctuation in the high-frequency range rises, while low-frequency energy fluctuation remains comparatively smaller. Moreover, higher Rib values lead to increased pollutant concentration near the ground on building downwind side, making it more prone to pollutant accumulation at ground level.

Wafer Level Vacuum Packaging of MEMS-Based Uncooled Infrared Sensors.

This paper introduces a cost-effective, high-performance approach to achieving wafer level vacuum packaging (WLVP) for MEMS-based uncooled infrared sensors. Reliable and hermetic packages for MEMS devices are achieved using a cap wafer that is formed using two silicon wafers, where one wafer has precise grating/moth-eye structures on both sides of a double-sided polished wafer for improved transmission of over 80% in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) wavelength region without the need for an AR coating, while the other wafer is used to form a cavity. The two wafers are bonded using Au-In transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding at low temperature to form the cap wafer, which is then bondelectrical and Electronics d to the sensor wafer using glass frit bonding at high temperature to activate the getter inside the cavity region. The bond quality is assessed using three methods, including He-leak tests, cap deflection, and Pirani vacuum gauges. Hermeticity is confirmed through He-leak tests according to MIL-STD 883, yielding values as low as 0.1 × 10-9 atm·cc/s. The average shear strength is measured as 23.38 MPa. The package pressure varies from 133-533 Pa without the getter usage to as low as 0.13 Pa with the getter usage.

A Nutrigenomic View on the Premature-Aging Disease Fanconi Anemia.

Fanconi anemia, a rare disorder with an incidence of 1 in 300,000, is caused by mutations in FANC genes, which affect the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks. The disease is characterized by congenital malformations, bone marrow failure within the first decade of life, and recurrent squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, esophagus, and anogenital regions starting around age 20. In this review, we propose that Fanconi anemia should be considered a premature-aging syndrome. Interestingly, the onset and severity of the life-limiting clinical features of Fanconi anemia can be influenced by lifestyle choices, such as a healthy diet and physical activity. These factors shape the epigenetic status of at-risk cell types and enhance the competence of the immune system through nutritional signaling. Fanconi anemia may serve as a model for understanding the aging process in the general population, addressing research gaps in its clinical presentation and suggesting prevention strategies. Additionally, we will discuss how the balance of genetic and environmental risk factors-affecting both cancer onset and the speed of aging-is interlinked with signal transduction by dietary molecules. The underlying nutrigenomic principles will offer guidance for healthy aging in individuals with Fanconi anemia as well as for the general population.

Enhancement of piezoelectric energy harvesting for flexural waves by a metasurface-assisted phononic cavity

Piezoelectric energy harvesting of mechanical waves exhibits great potential applications in electricity generation for low-powered electronic devices. In this work, the metasurface-assisted phononic cavity is proposed for the enhancement of piezoelectric energy harvesting of elastic flexural waves. By employing the two-dimensional plate-type metamaterial, we construct a phononic cavity that possesses the ability to localize and amplify the flexural waves. On the other hand, for the purpose of flexural wave focusing, a sparse metasurface is inversely designed based on the interference theory through the particle swarm optimization algorithm. For collaborative wave manipulation, the sparse metasurface is set in front of the phononic cavity. Additionally, piezoelectric patches are attached within the phononic cavities. The wave characteristics of the metasurface-assisted phononic cavity are studied by using the finite element method. For comparison, a conventional phononic cavity (i.e., cavity without metasurface) and a reference bare plate are also considered. Due to the wavefront control ability of the metasurface, more flexural waves are guided into the phononic cavity region. Thus, compared with the reference plate, the power amplification ratios of the metasurface-assisted cavity and the conventional cavity are 102 and 7, respectively. The electrical outputs of the phononic cavity are remarkably boosted by the assistance of the sparse metasurface.

Verification and Validation for Large Eddy Simulation of Cavitating Flow Around a Projectile Near the Free Surface

AbstractVerification and validation (V&amp;V) is a helpful tool for evaluating simulation errors, but its application in unsteady cavitating flow remains a challenging issue due to the difficulty in meeting the requirement of an asymptotic range. Hence, a new V&amp;V approach for large eddy simulation (LES) is proposed. This approach offers a viable solution for the error estimation of simulation data that are unable to satisfy the asymptotic range. The simulation errors of cavitating flow around a projectile near the free surface are assessed using the new V&amp;V method. The evident error values are primarily dispersed around the cavity region and free surface. The increasingly intense cavitating flow increases the error magnitudes. In addition, the modeling error magnitudes of the Dynamic Smagorinsky–Lilly model are substantially smaller than that of the Smagorinsky–Lilly model. The present V&amp;V method can capture the decrease in the modeling errors due to model enhancements, further exhibiting its applicability in cavitating flow simulations. Moreover, the monitoring points where the simulation data are beyond the asymptotic range are primarily dispersed near the cavity region, and the number of such points grows as the cavitating flow intensifies. The simulation outcomes also suggest that the re-entrant jet and shedding cavity collapse are the chief sources of vorticity motions, which remarkably affect the simulation accuracy. The results of this study provide a valuable reference for V&amp;V research.

Noise and sensitivity analysis of the dielectric modulated reconfigurable SiNW-SBT for biosensor applications

For the first time, we reported the noise and sensitivity analysis of the Dielectric Modulated Reconfigurable Silicon Nanowire-based Schottky Barrier Transistor (DMR SiNW-SBT) for biosensor applications. To validate the simulation, we present experimental calibration of the DMR SiNW-SBT biosensor. The biomolecules having different dielectric constants and charge densities are immobilized in the cavity region under the control gate. These biomolecules modulate the Schottky junction width at the source channel interface and enhance the drain current of the biosensor. The simulation results indicate that the proposed device ION and VTH sensitivity improved by 54.65 % and 85.71 %, respectively, with the state-of-the-art biosensors. Noise analysis shows that the NFmin decreased by 190.32 % and offers a low source impedance of 70Ω, which minimizes signal loss and distortion. Additionally, we investigate the linearity parameters that outperformed the FET-based biosensors. The gm3 experiences a reduction of 123.21 %, while the VIP3 sees an increase of 7.87 % and the IIP3 shows a rise of 7.21 %. Furthermore, we have conducted device optimization by varying the cavity length and thickness. We also outline potential fabrication steps for the DMR SiNW-SBT biosensor. Thus, results show that the proposed biosensor emerges as a promising candidate for advanced biosensing applications with high sensitivity, enhanced linearity, and robust noise resilience.

Experimental study on the penetration and evaporation characteristics of a liquid kerosene jet in the supersonic crossflow

The penetration and evaporation characteristics of a liquid kerosene jet in the supersonic crossflow were experimentally investigated in this study. The experiments were carried out in both cold and high-enthalpy inflows. Detailed spray images were obtained using planar laser scattering techniques. The structures of the spray field were further analyzed on the basis of high spatial and temporal resolution images. The results show that the atomization and evaporation characteristics of a liquid kerosene jet are related to the crossflow temperature, liquid–gas momentum flux ratio, and injection distance. It is found that the breakup process of a liquid jet is accelerated in the high-enthalpy inflow. To accurately describe the maximum flow distance along the direction that kerosene can reach in the state of droplets, the survival distance is defined. It is revealed that the penetration depth and survival distance of the liquid kerosene jet decrease clearly with increase in the crossflow temperature. For the cavity-based combustor, the liquid kerosene jet can mix more sufficiently in the cavity region by reducing the injection distance and liquid–gas momentum flux ratio.

On the wavefunction cutoff factors of atomic hydrogen confined by an impenetrable spherical cavity

AbstractThe Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom enclosed by an impenetrable spherical cavity is solved through a Finite‐Differences approach to gain an insight on the actual nature and structure of the ansatz wavefunction cutoff factor widely used in an ad hoc manner in corresponding variational calculations to comply with the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The results of this work provide a theoretical foundation for the choice of the appropriate analytical cutoff functions that fulfill the boundary conditions. We find three different regions for the behavior of the cutoff functions. Small cavity radius where the cutoff function has a parabolic behavior, an intermediate region where the cutoff function is quasi‐linear, and a large cavity region where the cutoff function is a step‐like function. We deduce the traditional linear and quadratic cutoff functions used in the literature as well as its validity region for the confining radius. Finally, we provide a mathematical deduction of the exact cutoff function in terms of the nodal structure of the free hydrogenic wavefunctions and a relation to the Laguerre polynomials for some cavity radii where the free atomic energy level coincides with a confined energy level. We find that the cutoff function transit over several unconfined solutions in terms of its nodal structure as the system is compressed.

Surface temperature field real-time reconstruction of hot forging die based on 1DCNN

Accurate reconstruction of the die surface temperature field during the hot forging process is crucial for ensuring optimal control of die temperature and high-quality metal forgings. In this study, we propose a novel method that combines hot forging process parameters with a deep neural network to reconstruct the temperature field on the die surface in real-time. Firstly, a high-fidelity finite element model of the hot forging process is created and validated with a forging experiment. Secondly, temperature observation points are initially selected based on the simulated temperature distribution of the forging die, and the correlation coefficient method is used to optimize the layout of observation points to improve reconstruction accuracy and efficiency. Subsequently, multiple high-quality simulations with varying process parameters are conducted, generating a comprehensive dataset. The 1DCNN algorithm is then presented to produce a mapping from the input to the surface temperature field. Finally, the effectiveness of the surface temperature field reconstruction method is verified. The results indicate that the overall performance of the proposed 1DCNN algorithm is better than the traditional regression algorithms. In terms of reconstruction accuracy, it achieves a prediction accuracy within an absolute error of 3 °C for the outer surface points and within a relative error of 5 % for the cavity region. Regarding reconstruction efficiency, it requires an approximate execution time of 0.064 s for predicting a new sample. This paper presents a method for real-time reconstruction of the die surface temperature field, leveraging hot forging process parameters and temperature data from observation points. This approach enables reliable online monitoring of transient temperature variations on the hot forging die surface, offering valuable support for operational control and maintenance.

The fate of an inhaled cigarette puff in the human respiratory tract

Objective Cigarette smoking can lead to a host of adverse health effects such as lung and heart disease. Increased lung cancer risk is associated with inhalation of carcinogens present in a puff of smoke. These carcinogenic compounds deposit in the lung at different sites and trigger a cascade of events leading to adverse outcomes. Understanding the site-specific deposition of various smoke constituents will inform the study of respiratory diseases from cigarette smoking. We previously developed a deposition model for inhalation of aerosol from electronic nicotine delivery systems. In this study, the model was modified to simulate inhalation of cigarette smoke consisting of soluble and insoluble tar, nicotine, and cigarette-specific constituents that are known or possible human carcinogens. Materials and Methods The deposition model was further modified to account for nicotine protonation and other cigarette-specific physics-based mechanisms that affect smoke deposition. Model predictions showed a total respiratory tract uptake in the lung for formaldehyde (99%), nicotine (80%), and benzo[a]pyrene (60%). Results The site of deposition and uptake depended primarily on the constituent’s saturation vapor pressure. High vapor pressure constituents such as formaldehyde were preferentially absorbed in the oral cavity and proximal lung regions, while low vapor pressure constituents such as benzo[a]pyrene were deposited in the deep lung regions. Model predictions of exhaled droplet size, droplet retention, nicotine retention, and uptake of aldehydes compared favorably with experimental data. Conclusion The deposition model can be integrated into exposure assessments and other studies that evaluate potential adverse health effects from cigarette smoking.

Pathogenic Bacteria Associated With Periodontitis

Oral pathogenic bacterial species have a direct impact the pathology of tooth decay and gum disease. Oral pathogenic bacteria engage in negative cooperation with the host by exchanging information, immunological responses, and metabolic status through bidirectional communication between the systemic organs and mouth cavity. The oral cavity serves as a crucial interface between the human body and the surrounding environment. The microbial compositions in different regions of the oral cavity vary due to the distinct microenvironments present. These microenvironments are influenced by a combination of intricate signals, hosts, and external ecological factors. This review highlights the causative bacterial agents that are responsible for adult periodontitis.
