| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Clarification of a commonality and the individual difference of the Japanese oral microbiome were explored and then relationship between microbiome compostion and oral health was elucidated in this study. The salivary microbiome of dwelling population in Hisayam town was able to be classified roughly into Type I and Type II based on bacterial constitution. The subjects with Type II microbiome were younger, and with lower body mass index, lesser caries experience, and fewer smoking habit, when compared with those with Type I microbiome. These differences were significant by Poisson regression analysis. The main origin of salivary bacteria is thought to be tongue dorsum, suggesting the possibility that general health condition such as age and the degree of obesity is related to tongue coating rather than bacteria on tooth surfaces. Considering our findings, control of tongue coating is important to maintain both oral and general health.
