18.1   Introduction toHuman Microbiome
The term microbiome was defined by Joshua Lederberg in 2003 as ‘the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that share our body space and have been all but ignored as determinants of health and disease’[1]. Since then, over the last two decades (2003–2023), many publications have described the role of the human microbiome in health and disease. Although the term microbiome was coined in 2003, the interest of community- wide effect of oral microorganisms has a long history, especially with relevant to common oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease. The microbial aetiology of these two diseases has been known at least since the 19th century with the general appreciation of germ theory. Hence, it will be interesting to examine how our understanding of the role of oral microorganisms with refer­ence to dental caries and periodontal disease has evolved over time. In this book chapter, we will especially be focused on the last two decades, in which much new research on oral microbiomes has emerged.
An important milestone in deciphering the human microbiome was the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Microbiome Project (HMP) launched in 2007[2]. The goal of this project was to characterise the microbial communities found in and on the human body and their roles in human health and disease. The HMP involved large- scale sequencing of microbial genomes and metagenomes from various body sites, such as the gut, oral cavity, skin and urogenital tract, from 200 healthy volunteers and the development of computational and analytical tools to analyse and interpret the data. The oral cavity has the second largest and most diverse microbiota after the gut. Hence, in the recent years, there has been interest in research focusing on its roles in health and disease[3]. Several oral cavity samples were collected in the HMP project, including saliva, dental plaque and mucosal swabs from various areas like the tongue, buccal mucosa and gums. These samples were analysed using various techniques such as 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing and metagenomics to identify and quantify the microbial communities present in the oral samples. The sequences derived from HMP oral samples provided insights into the composi­tion and function of the oral microbiome and its potential role in oral and systemic health. The first

18.2   Understanding theTerminology Used  inMicrobiome Research
The problem with scientific terminology is that the meaning can vary greatly based on an indi­vidual’s knowledge and understanding of the topic. This is particularly important for clinicians who may not be familiar with new scientific terms. Hence, we advocate readers to peruse the terms in Table18.1 that are frequently employed in oral microbiome research publications and are pre­sented in accessible language for a lay audience. (Table18.1).

Next- Generation Sequencing (NGS)
The sequencing technique involves fragmenting DNA/RNA into multiple pieces, adding adapters, sequencing the libraries, and reassembling them to form a genomic sequence. The technology is used to determine the order of nucleotides in entire genomes or targeted regions of DNA or RNA. It sequences millions of
fragments simultaneously per run.

sequencing
The sequencing technique aims to sample all genes from a community and can produce detailed metabolic and functional profiles. This method that allows the
identification and characterisation of organisms from all kinds of samples (7).
Pyrosequencing The DNA sequencing technique differs from Sanger sequencing by employing
pyrophosphate release detection and light generation upon nucleotide incorporation, instead of terminating the DNA chain with dideoxynucleotides. It enables the identification of the genetic code within a specific segment of DNA.
Exon/Exome Each protein- coding segment of a gene is called an exon, and in combination, all
exons within the genome are known as the exome.
Whole- exome sequencing (WES)
The sequencing technique allows variations in identification of variations within the protein- coding region of any gene, rather than limiting the analysis to a specific set of genes. Because most known mutations that cause disease occur in exons, whole- exome sequencing is considered a highly effective approach for detecting potential disease- causing mutations.
Whole- genome sequencing (WGS)
The sequencing technique is capable of identifying all the nucleotides present in an individual’s DNA, enabling the detection of variations across the entire genome. Particularly valuable for identification of genetic disorders–variations caused by DNA variations outside the exons can affect gene activity and protein production that WGS miss.

sequences, known as OTUs. Typically, a sequence similarity of over 97% (or a dissimilarity of up to 3%) is used to define a species within an OTU. For defining genus and phylum, sequence similarities of 95 and 80% respectively are employed. This method is applied to analyse gene sequence data sets of bacteria and fungi, obtained through advanced sequencing technologies like metagenomic sequencing and targeted next- generation sequencing.
A method of clustering sequences aims to identify variations in sequences, even those caused by a single nucleotide change. This approach eliminates the need for similarity- based clustering units, known as zero- radius OTUs. Therefore, ASVs enabling a slightly stronger detection of fungal and bacterial diversity.

18.3   Oral Microbiome Associated withDental Caries
Dental caries is the most prevalent of all 291medical conditions evaluated in the Global Burden of Disease Study worldwide[5, 6]. It affects approximately 3.1 billion people (44%), placing a major healthcare burden globally. It is important to note that dental caries is the most common chronic disease among children[7]. 520million children suffer from caries of primary teeth or early child­hood caries (ECC), which is a fivefold higher prevalence than asthma in children[8].
18.3.1  Dental Plaque Biofilm inDental Caries
In the long- standing traditional view, the aetiology of dental caries involves four main factors: a tooth, pathogenic microorganisms residing in dental plaque, food for pathogens or fermentable carbohydrates, and time. Although, over time, many more factors have been recognised as contrib­uting to the etiopathology of dental caries, the foundation of these four factors cannot be denied. Today, we know that dental caries is indeed a multifactorial disease. Numerous factors, including but not limited to genetics, microbial, environmental, physiological and behavioural factors, con­tribute to the initiation and development of dental caries[9].
As mentioned above, dental plaque is at the centre of the pathogenesis of dental caries[10, 11]. It is important to understand the difference between dental plaque biofilm and the dental plaque microbiome[12]. In general, a biofilm is a surface- attached microbial community encased in a matrix of exopolymeric substances. Dental plaque is attached to tooth substance and composed of exopolymers such as glucans secreted by bacteria[10]. Hence, a biofilm essentially denotes a struc­tural arrangement of microorganisms in which microorganisms are a part of the larger microbial

city. In contrast, a microbiome is essentially a microbial community with its genetic material, irre­spective of whether they are organised as a biofilm or not.
Based on mathematical modelling, it is estimated that the human body consists of a signifi­cantly greater quantity of microbial cells (ranging from two to three orders of magnitude) com­pared to eukaryotic and archaea cells[13]. In the human body, all the surface exposed to exterior is colonised by microorganisms. This includes oral cavity, gut, skin, genitalia as well as cornea of the eye. Oral cavity is replete with hundreds of thousands of microorganisms including vari­ous species of bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoans. In the oral cavity, indigenous species can access all surfaces through saliva flow, but successful adhesion and colonisation depend on specific environmental conditions[14]. As a result, depending on the niche, whether it is on a hard surface or a soft surface, composition of the oral microorganisms may vary. For example, a distinctive, multi- genus consortium in the microbiome of supragingival dental plaque was observed using spectral imaging fluorescence in situ hybridisation as guided by metagenomic sequence analysis [15]. The microbial consortium is composed of a radially arranged, nine­taxon structure organised around cells of filamentous corynebacteria. Classical models of den­tal plaque biofilm highlight the critical role of Fusobacterium species in physically bridging early and late colonisers. In contrast, this study suggested a central role of Corynebacterium as the taxon that plays a central role by physically connecting each of the other taxa in the hedge­hog structure[15].
In health, resident oral microorganisms all live in harmony or symbiosis. However, under cer­tain conditions, often due to changes in environmental factors such as frequent intake of dietary sugars, microbial composition may dramatically change, leading to dysbiosis of the oral microbi­ome. Microorganisms associated with dental caries produce acids such as lactic, formic, acetic and propionic acids through carbohydrate metabolism. These acids lead to a decrease in pH levels below 5.5, causing demineralisation of enamel hydroxyapatite crystals and the proteolytic break­down of the structure of tooth hard tissues. Hence, dental caries is defined as ‘biofilm- mediated dysbiosis that involves changes in the microbiome composition and function, which leads to the dissolution of tooth substance (enamel and dentin) by acid produced by select oral bacteria, as a result of the fermentation of dietary carbohydrates’[8].

18.3.2  Microbial Models Associated withDental Caries
W. D. Miller, regarded as the first oral microbiologist, published his landmark work, ‘The Microorganisms of the Human Mouth’, in 1891, proposing the ‘chemico- parasitic’ theory to describe dental caries[16]. However, it was not until J. Clarke identified Streptococcus mutans in 1924 that there was confirmation of microbial pathogens associated with dental caries [17]. Through their studies, Keyes and Fitzgerald demonstrated that carries an infectious and transmis­sible disease[18]. Hence, in early 20th century, in line with specific- plaque hypothesis, S. mutans has been rationalised as the major bacterial pathogen associated with dental caries. Later more broadly, Mutans group of Streptococci, including S.  mutans and Streptococcus  sobrinus were regarded as classical cariogenic pathogens. Philip Marsh proposed the ecological plaque hypothe­sis in 1994, combining the concept of a shift in the microbial component in dental plaque due to environmental catastrophes, such as frequent consumption of sugar[19].
Clinical studies have observed that the caries development stage does not necessarily involve these classical cariogenic pathogens. Therefore, Takahashi and Nyvad proposed an extended eco­logical plaque hypothesis that includes several other species in the overall cariogenic process[20]. The hypothesis described dental plaque as a dynamic microbial community where non- mutans
