摘要
随着人口老龄化速度的加快,老年人患龋情况日益严峻.变异链球菌是主要致龋菌,乳杆菌和血链球菌等也参与了龋病的发生发展,而戈登链球菌可以抑制龋病.本文就变异链球菌与上述口腔微生物相互作用作一综述,为老年龋病防治提供新思路.
Abstract
As the global population ages at an accelerated pace,the prevalence of dental caries among the elderly is escala-ting,presenting a growing health concern.Streptococcus mutans is widely acknowledged as the primary cariogenic bacteria,while Lac-tobacillus and Streptococcus sanguinis also play significant roles in the initiation and progression of dental caries.In contrast,Strepto-coccus gordonii demonstrates an inhibitory effect on dental caries.This article meticulously reviews the intricate interactions among Streptococcus mutans,Lactobacillus,Streptococcus sanguinis,and Streptococcus gordonii in the oral microbiome.By delving into these microbial dynamics,it offers novel perspectives for the prevention and treatment of dental caries among the elderly.These insights contribute to the development of innovative strategies aimed at addressing the complexities of dental caries in the context of an aging population.
