Abstract
in English, Spanish

All of us who observe the chilling figures of children with dental caries on a daily basis and more recently the more frequent presence of enamel alterations and among them incisor molar hypomineralization, we begin to think what really happens with that tissue considered the strongest. of the human body; however, it bows down to an acid attack resulting from bacterial metabolism. And the question arises: Could it be that the tooth is already born with a predisposition to develop certain microorganisms? This comprehensive review of the literature, summarizing the authors' perspectives; aims to explore the knowledge about the biome and apply it to the dental organ and make available the definition of dentobiome, as an appropriate term for dental flora. Starting from this knowledge, apply it to better understand today the execution of the philosophy of minimal intervention and the development of materials that must be biocompatible with the dental structure but must also prevent dysbiosis and establish homeostasis in the tooth.

Todos los que observamos a diario las cifras escalofriantes de niños con caries dental y, más recientemente, la mayor frecuencia de alteraciones del esmalte, entre ellas la hipomineralización del molar incisivo, nos ponemos a pensar en qué pasa realmente con ese tejido considerado el más fuerte del cuerpo humano, pero que se doblega frente a un ataque ácido producto del metabolismo bacteriano. Entonces, surge la pregunta: ¿será que el diente ya nace con una predisposición a desarrollar ciertos microorganismos? Esta revisión exhaustiva de la literatura, que resume las perspectivas de los autores, tiene como objetivo explorar el conocimiento sobre el bioma y aplicarlo al órgano dental, así como poner a disposición la definición de dentobioma, como término apropiado para la flora dental. A partir de este conocimiento, se busca entender mejor la ejecución de la filosofía de la mínima intervención y el desarrollo de materiales que deben ser biocompatibles con la estructura dental, pero que además deben de impedir la disbiosis y asentar la homeostasis en el diente.

Keywords: dentobiome; dentobiota; minimal intervention; oral microbiome; oral microbiota.
