Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck cancer. Although oral cavity an easily accessible area for visual examination, OSCC more often detected at advanced stage. The global prevalence of around 6%, with increasing trends posing a significant health problem due to increase in morbidity mortality. microbiome has been target numerous studies, findings highlighting role dysbiosis developing OSCC. Dysbiosis can significantly pathobionts (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) that trigger inflammation through their virulence pathogenicity factors. In contrast, chronic bacterial contributes development Pathobionts also have other effects, such as impact on immune system, which alter responses contribute pro-inflammatory environment. Poor hygiene carbohydrate-rich foods risk factors mechanisms are not yet fully understood remain frequent research topic. For this reason, narrative review concentrates issue potential cause OSCC, well underlying involved.

Background/Objectives: The diversity of the oral microbiota exerts its effects in maintaining dental and overall health. unique genetic profile each individual influences composition microbiota, determining susceptibility to certain diseases. aim is observe role by highlighting pathogenic mechanisms involved dysbiosis identify determinism's influence balance. Methods: This study was designed as a narrative review utilizing some principles guidelines systematic increase methodological rigor. We examined 121 articles such reviews, meta-analyses, editorials, observational studies, which met inclusion exclusion criteria. criteria for studies were follows: (1) that evaluated impact or/and systemic diseases; (2) observed microbiota; (3) interaction with immune system (4); implications microbiota. Results: Host genes regulate inflammatory immunological reactions play microbiological explains increased resistance diseases, including gingivitis or periodontitis. Also, are reflected not only locally, but also generally, being associated various conditions. Conclusions: Understanding determinants may help create individualized therapies preventing managing disorders. A healthy lifestyle adequate hygiene can facilitate diverse balanced microbiome, crucial

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and neuronal loss, affecting millions worldwide. Emerging evidence highlights the oral microbiome—a complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa as significant factor in health. Dysbiosis microbiome contributes to systemic inflammation, disrupts blood–brain barrier, promotes neuroinflammation, processes increasingly implicated pathogenesis AD. This review examines mechanisms linking dysbiosis through oral–brain oral–gut–brain axis. These interconnected pathways enable bidirectional communication between cavity, gut, brain via neural, immune, endocrine signaling. Oral pathogens, such Porphyromonas gingivalis, along with virulence factors, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS) gingipains, contribute while metabolic byproducts, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) peptidoglycans, further exacerbate immune activation. Additionally, this explores influence external diet, pH balance, medication use, smoking, alcohol consumption, hygiene, on microbial diversity stability, highlighting their role shaping outcomes. The dynamic interplay gut microbiomes reinforces importance homeostasis preserving neurological interventions, probiotics, prebiotics, dietary modifications, offer promising strategies support function reduce risk diseases, AD, maintaining diverse microbiome. Future longitudinal research needed identify long-term impact cognition.
