Abstract

Bacteriophages are dynamic against planktonic microorganisms and, of more noteworthy interest for oral and dental medicines, against microbes coordinated in biofilms. Phage therapy, like many other medical professions, opens up new avenues for dentistry, both therapeutically and scientifically. Oral phage must reflect the ecology of their bacterial hosts to some extent, although the occurrence of mutualistic and antagonistic connections between phage and hosts is not fully understood. Phage therapy could be beneficial in oral and dental therapies. Bacteriophages attack planktonic bacteria and cells encased in biofilms. Because phage treatment has long been utilised to treat infections, phage therapy for the dentistry sector might advance quickly. Following the resuscitation of phage therapy, numerous researchers have been able to dig further into this therapeutic option and develop more conservative procedures as complements to conventional treatments.
