Journal ArticleDOI
Use of checkerboard DNA–DNA hybridization to study complex microbial ecosystems
Sigmund S. Socransky,A. D. Haffajee,C. Smith,Lynn Martin,J. A. Haffajee,N. G. Uzel,J. M. Goodson +6 more
TL;DR: DNA probes used in the checkerboard DNA-DNA format provide a useful tool for the enumeration of bacterial species in microbiologically complex systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial Subgingival Colonization of ‘Pristine’ Pockets
Marc Quirynen,Roel Vogels,Martine Pauwels,Anne D. Haffajee,Sigmund S. Socransky,N. G. Uzel,D. van Steenberghe +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, even with the supragingival environment as the single source for colonizing bacteria, a complex subgingival microbiota can develop within 1 wk, with a minimal increase in counts up to 4 wks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early microbial succession in redeveloping dental biofilms in periodontal health and disease
Flavia Teles,Ricardo Teles,Ricardo Teles,N. G. Uzel,Xiaoqing Song,G. Torresyap,S. S. Socransky,A. D. Haffajee +7 more
TL;DR: There is a defined order in bacterial species succession in early supragingival and subgingival biofilm redevelopment after professional cleaning, and no significant increase in the proportions of periodontal pathogens was observed in any of the clinical groups or locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial shifts during dental biofilm re-development in the absence of oral hygiene in periodontal health and disease.
N. G. Uzel,Flavia Teles,Flavia Teles,Ricardo Teles,Ricardo Teles,Xiaoging Q. Song,Sigmund S. Socransky,Anne D. Haffajee +7 more
TL;DR: Uzel et al. as mentioned in this paper monitored microbial shifts during dental biofilm re-development in the absence of oral hygiene in periodontal health and disease and found that the total supra-and subgingival counts of Veillonella parvula, Fusobacterium nucleatum ss vincentii and Neisseria mucosa increased from 2 to 7 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of microbial changes in early redeveloping biofilms on natural teeth and dentures.
Flavia Teles,Flavia Teles,Ricardo Teles,Ricardo Teles,Amit Sachdeo,N. G. Uzel,Xiaoqing Song,G. Torresyap,M. Singh,Athena Papas,A. D. Haffajee,S. S. Socransky +11 more
TL;DR: "Mature" natural and denture teeth biofilms have similar total numbers of bacteria but different species proportions, and post-cleaning biofilm redevelopment is more rapid and more complex on natural teeth than on dentures.
