What is Recent Updates on Microbial Biofilms in Periodontitis: An Analysis of In Vitro Biofilm Models about?

The development of oral biofilm models has been extremely important to study the specific role of most microbial species at the early stages of periodontitis. The current knowledge on monospecies or multispecies biofilms originates mainly from the observation of in vitro dynamic or static biofilm model systems, which were engineered to mimic clinical oral conditions. In the last few decades, mounting evidence has confirmed that biofilms are the major form of bacterial lifestyle, and more importantly, that microorganisms dwelling in sessile mixed-species aggregates display com-pletely different phenotypes and physiological characteristics than when living in planktonic pure cultures. Interspecies interactions within these communities, mediated by chemical communication systems, have been shown to affect biofilm physiology and increase antimicrobial resistance by up to 1000 fold. These aspects reinforce the importance of developing multispecies biofilm models to better understand and control biofilms. Literature reports demonstrate that while monospecies models are still most commonly used in caries research, authors have used different multispecies models to study periodontal diseas
