Introduction: Oral microbiome is of diverse nature. Oral diseases are associated with oral dysbiosis. The demands can be met by recent advances in genomics and molecular biology. Multidisciplinary approach needs to be applied in case of management of such diseases, especially the lesions of endodontic origin. Oral microbiome is a double edged weapon. The current review compiles oral microbiome in health and disease with a multidisciplinary dental approach. Management strategies based on therapeutic potential and prophylaxis are to be initiated from the researcher point of view.
Materials and methods: A detailed literature search was done pertaining to OMFP patients and their association with periapical pathology. Inclusion criteria include various studies done on the above based topics.
Results: Grand total of 300 cases were identified from 150 papers published in English language literature. Of these 150, 98 were filtered narrowing down to 52 fully downloaded studies pertaining to the topic.
Conclusion:Perspective from an endodontist should be done in an exceptional way in patients with OMFP in order to achieve long-term success.
