Concepts of microbiome and ‘omics’ in general have changed the paradigm in infectious diseases and microbial ecology in many areas, including the mouth. The earlier concept where one infec- tious agent was thought to cause a certain disease seems outdated in many cases, being now replaced by the better understanding of complex microbial communities. There, individual microbes work together and also communicate with each other. Modern research techniques have enabled scrutinising the mysteries of the microbial communities, and we have learnt a lot about their genetics, metabolism and behav- iour. These aspects are thoroughly covered in this new textbook. In many regards, research on oral microbiota has been pioneering in investigating ‘dental plaque’ and understanding indeed that only seldom can one micro-organism be pointed out as the culprit of a certain condition. Similarly it has been important to realise that most micro-organisms harbouring the human being are not pathogens but, on the contrary, needed and beneficial to health. The homeostasis between the microbiome and the host is prerequisite for healthy life as we understand it. Taken into consideration the fact that micro-organisms have been there millions of years before man, research in this co-existence cannot be over-emphasised. The new text- book elegantly summarises current knowledge of microbial biofilms in the perspec- tive of oral health and clinical implications. The book is going to be an invaluable tool in the hands of students and researchers interested in this highly relevant topic. Jukka H. Meurman MD, PhD, Dr. Odont, Dr. hc. (multi), FDSRCSEd.
