Diseases of microbial origin occur in different body sites including mouth and are described since the early times. Despite the risks and significant number of systemic diseases related to microbiological dental diseases (eg. endocarditis, respiratory infections, cardiovascular diseases, brain abscesses and oral and gastrointestinal cancers), the oral microbiota are not deeply explored or studied compared to others involved in diseases of global importance.
