title: Acquisition and maturation of oral microbiome throughout childhood: An update.
abstract: Traditional microbiology concepts are being renewed since the development of new microbiological technologies, such as, sequencing and large-scale genome analysis. Since the entry into the new millennium, a lot of new information has emerged regarding the oral microbiome. This revision presents an overview of this renewed knowledge on oral microbial community acquisition in the newborn and on the evolution of this microbiome to adulthood. Throughout childhood, the oral microbial load increases, but the microbial diversity decreases. The initial colonizers are related to the type of delivery, personal relationships, and living environment. These first colonizers seem to condition the subsequent colonization, which will lead to more complex and stable ecosystems in adulthood. These early oral microbial communities, therefore, play a major role in the development of the adult oral microbiota and may represent a source of both pathogenic and protective microorganisms in a very early stage of human life. The implications of this knowledge on the daily clinical practice of odontopediatrics are highlighted.
