Course Description:
This presentation will provide a state-of–the art overview of the oral microbiome in health and disease and how these usually friendly microbial consortia become foe under elusive circumstances, possibly leading to disease and pathology at distant sites thus affecting the overall human morbidity and mortality. The clinical relevance of the new data for the patient and the practitioner will also be discussed.
