When oral health affects overall health: biofilms, dental infections, and emerging antimicrobial strategies.
Review in Infection, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dental health is a crucial component of overall health, yet it is frequently overlooked in discussions about well-being. This article explores the multifaceted aspects of dental infections, primarily focusing on biofilms formed by pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. These biofilms contribute to dental caries and periodontal disease, conditions that affect oral health and have systemic consequences. Recent advancements in understanding biofilm formation and interactions have led to novel strategies for prevention and treatment, including using nanoparticles and smart hydrogels designed to disrupt biofilm integrity while promoting biocompatibility with human tissues. Furthermore, the article highlights the potential of natural remedies, including herbal extracts, as adjuncts in maintaining oral hygiene and combating microbial infections. A comprehensive overview of biofilm dynamics, including adhesion, maturation, and dispersion, is presented, alongside discussions on innovative therapeutic approaches addressing the limitations of conventional treatments. Ultimately, this article emphasizes the importance of maintaining dental health in preventing a wide spectrum of health issues, reinforcing that the mouth is a gateway to the body.
