Objectives: This study is an oral management study
through saliva gene analysis and analyzes the types of harmful bacteria and
quantitative figures in saliva. The worse the oral clinical indicators, the
more 7 types of bacteria are detected. In the future, it will be used in
clinical practice to contribute to the improvement of public oral health.
Methods: In July 2024, it was conducted on women in
their 60s. Dax Medi Oral biome Check Next Generation PCR test was performed.
After saliva collection, pretreatment, DNA extraction, and DNA quantitative
analysis were performed, and a customized solution was provided.
Results: In the detailed results of the primary and
secondary oral harmful bacteria of female subjects in their 60s, the primary
detection amount of Pg was 42.321 and the secondary was 38.256. The primary and
secondary detection amounts of Td, Cr, and Sm are all 2. The primary detection
amount of Tf was 59.799, and the secondary was 56.231. The primary detection
amount of Pi is 558.950, the secondary is 545.336, and Fn is 160.082 and the
secondary is 130.001
Conclusions: When physical dental plaque control methods such as brushing, tongue brushing, and dental floss are performed for dental disease-causing bacteria in this study, there is a decrease in oral harmful bacteria levels for dental caries-related bacteria such as S. mutans, Fusobacterium nucleated periodontal disease-related bacteria P. gingivalis, T.forsythia, T. denticola, Provocateur Intermedia, and Campylobacter rectus.
Biofilms in the oral cavity are composed of various
types of bacteria, and oral diseases occur due to changes in the bacterial
composition of the biofilm in the oral cavity [1,2]. Acids produced by dental
caries-causing bacteria in the dental plaque demyelinating minerals in the
hemorrhoids cause tooth caries, and some anaerobic bacteria in the dental
plaque produce toxins harmful to the periodontal tissues, causing periodontal diseases.
In addition, dental plaque that is not removed and left unattended is
tartarized through calcification, which can further accelerate periodontal
diseases and deteriorate oral health [3]. An oral disease caused by bacteria in
the oral cavity includes dental caries and periodontal diseases, which are
caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus and
Lactobacillus acidophilus [4,5]. It causes tooth destruction by producing
organic acids such as lactic acid, a metabolite of bacteria in the dental
plaque. Bacteria related to periodontal disease are Porphyromonas gingivalis,
Prevotella intermedia, and Tannerella Gram-negative bacteria such as forsythia
are associated, and the destruction of periodontal tissue is caused by periodontal
disease-causing bacteria and toxins [6]. In the past, red complexes such as P.
gingivalis, T. forsythia and Treponema denticola, orange complexes such as
Pintermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella nigrescens and Aggregatibacter
actinomycetemcomitans were known to affect [7], but recently Actinomyces
Israeli has been reported to affect chronic marginal gingivitis [8]. The oral
refresher is a substance used as a representative chemical dental plaque
control method [9] and is largely used for various purposes such as prevention
of oral diseases, treatment of oral diseases, reduction of bad breath [10].
Recently, there is an increasing number of oral refresher agents containing
substances having antibacterial effects against bacteria that cause oral diseases
[11]. Chlorhexidine, a cationic antibacterial substance, is the most widely
used as a representative ingredient used as an oral disease prevention
substance [12]. Long-term use has been reported to cause side effects such as
staining in the oral cavity and impaired taste [13]. Methylpyridinium chloride
(CPC) is the same cationic antibacterial substance as chlorhexidine and has
antibacterial effects when combined with negative charges on the bacterial
surface [14,15]. In this study, the next generation pcr test of one patient
with Na00 is conducted [16] to check the current oral condition and to check
the secondary test level by thoroughly managing the oral cleaning. The study
was started to compare the 1st and 2nd oral condition values to help improve
the oral health of the whole people in the future.
Study subjects
In July 2024, one woman in her 60s was tested for the next generation pcr (Korea, Ilsan) of Dax Medi Oral biome check. Na00 brushed her teeth 3 times a day and used a toothbrush without brushing her tongue. She had chronic periodontal disease, showed gum degeneration from No. 17 to No. 47, ceramic crown remnants from No. 27, ceramic crown bridges from No. 34 to No. 3, and implants from No. 37. There is a first-class malocclusion, an abnormality in the mandibular anterior teeth, and the median line is twisted (Figure 1).

Variable
Setting
In July 2024, Daxmedi Oralbiome Check Next Generation
Pcr (Korea, Ilsan) test was conducted on women in their 60s. Saliva is
collected, pretreated, DNA extraction is performed, DNA quantitative analysis
is performed, and when the data analysis result is derived, a customized
solution is provided. The number of harmful bacteria detected in the oral
cavity of the subjects with oral clinical indicators was analyzed, and the
results were scored accordingly. It was confirmed that as the oral clinical
indicators were not good to a certain level, more 7 types of bacteria were
detected, and on the contrary, it was confirmed that the detection
of the bacteria decreased as the indicators were good.
Therefore, it was interpreted that the number of harmful bacteria detected in
the mouth could affect oral health, and based on these clinical indicators, the
risk was calculated by converting the detection level of oral microorganisms
into Daxmedi's formula [16] (Table 1).
Data
Analysis
The statistical significance test was compared between
primary and secondary oral hazard test means using IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0
(IBM Inc., Armonk, New York, USA).
Ethical
Considerations
This study was approved by the Institutional Review
Board (IRB) of HONAM University (IRB No: 1041223-202303-HR-01).

In the risk index for each disease in the first and
second oral harmful bacteria tests of the subjects, the risk of periodontitis
and peri-implantitis was 46 at low risk in the first round and 25 was good in
the second round. The risk of tooth decay is also good in both the first and
second rounds. In terms of the risk of bad breath, the risk of medium risk 54
was shown in the first round and the risk of low risk 35 was shown in the
second round. (Table 3) In the detailed results of the primary and secondary
oral harmful bacteria of the subject, the primary detection amount of Pg was
42.321 and the secondary was 38.256. The primary and secondary detection
amounts of Td, Cr, and Sm are all 2. The primary detection amount of Tf was
59.799, and the secondary was 56.231. The primary detection amount of Pi is
558.950, the secondary is 545.336, and Fn is 160.082 and the secondary is
130.001 (Table 4).
Consideration
Oral diseases are bacterial diseases and can be
largely divided into dental caries and periodontal diseases. To remove bacteria
that cause oral diseases, toothpaste or oral refresher containing antibacterial
power is being developed, and for this reason, the antibacterial power of oral
products is becoming important. Oral refresher must be effective in preventing
dental plaque deposition and suppressing inflammatory substances in the oral
cavity, and for this purpose, it must penetrate the oral tissue and maintain
the efficacy concentration as long as possible in the oral cavity [17].
Antimicrobial substances that can chemically inhibit the growth and
proliferation of bacteria that cause oral diseases are being used in parallel
with physical dental plaque control methods such as brushing, tongue brushing,
and flossing to prevent diseases (Table 2).

Chlorhexidine, essential oil, and cetylpyridinium
chloride are used as representative ingredients, and products using toothpaste,
spray-type detergent, and gargle-type brushing solutions are continuously
developed and sold [18]. According to previous studies, chlorhexidine, which
has strong antibacterial properties against bacteria that cause oral diseases,
is difficult to use for a long time due to various side effects [19]. Compared
to chlorhexidine, which has side effects such as taste disorders when colored
and used for a long time, cetylpyridinium chloride has been reported to be
usable for a long time due to low concentration of residues in the oral cavity
[20], and the commonly used concentration is 0.025 to 0.1% [21]. It is reported
to be effective in relieving gingivitis along with promoting antimicrobial
action through the negative charge on the surface of the terria and positive
charge of cetylpyridinium chloride molecule [22]. In previous studies, P.
gingivalis weakens the keystone pathogen alveolar bone, weakens inflammation
around the implant, weakens the alveolar bone around the implant, tends to
penetrate the human body's immune cells or antibiotics, can have systemic
effects through secondary infection, is detected in blood clots in the brain or
cardiovascular system of people who died of dementia, and can increase the risk
of stomach cancer in the esophagus by more than 50% and worsen oral cancer,
colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer [23]. In this study, peri-implant salt
management-related harmful bacteria P. gingivalis, T. denticola, T, and
forsythia were found, and harmful bacteria that destroy gum tissue and gum
bones were reproduced No. 37 showed peri-implant inflammation and the risk of
peri-perioditis implant is 46 points, which is low risk Intensive care between
teeth, gum treatment, and regular checkups were recommended as prevention
methods (Tables 2-4). In addition, S. mutans from this study is attached to the
surface of the tooth, and biofilm composed of more than 600 types of microbial
communities promotes and corrodes the formation, is found inside the heart
valve and arterial blood vessels of patients with cardiovascular disease and is
accompanied by vasopathy and endocardial infections. The risk of dental caries
was good at 12 points, and correct brushing habits, use of fluoride toothpaste,
sugar intake agents, and regular checkups were recommended. Then, in the breath
management of this study, bacteria of P. gingivalis, T, forsythia, T.
denticola, and Provocateur Intermedia appeared, and oral harmful bacteria
overgrowth, gum disease cavities, sinusitis, reflux esophagitis, gastritis,
diabetes, etc. were considered, and the risk of bad breath was 54 points, and
the prevention method was prescribed by oral harmful bacteria test, scaling,
and regular checkups (Tables 2-4). When physical dental plaque control methods
such as brushing, tongue brushing, and dental floss are performed for oral
disease-causing bacteria, there is a decrease in oral harmful bacteria levels
for dental caries-related bacteria such as S. mutans, Fusobacterium nucleatum
periodontal disease-related bacteria P. gingivalis, T, forsythia, T. denticola,
Provocateur Intermedia, and Campylobacter rectus (Tables 2-4). The limitations
of this study were the lack of a clear data base through more than 300 cases
and the difficulty of suppressing bacteria only by using oral products. In the
future, by securing more than 300 cases of data, we will study the results of
lowering the level of harmful bacteria in the oral cavity with physical dental
plaque control methods such as brushing, tongue brushing, and flossing.
When physical dental plaque control methods such as
brushing, tongue brushing, and dental floss are performed for oral
disease-causing bacteria, there is a decrease in oral harmful bacteria levels
for dental caries-related bacteria such as S. mutans, Fusobacterium nucleatum
periodontal disease-related bacteria P. gingivalis, T, forsythia, T. denticola,
Provocateur Intermedia, and Campylobacter rectus.
