Conclusion: Our results indicate that complex host-biofilm interactions generate pathogenic states that extend beyond subgingival biofilms and periodontal tissues. Although no temporal relationship between the onset of iABL and microbiome changes were established, our findings suggest that host factors may be responsible for pathogenic shifts in subgingival biofilms when persistent and undisturbed.
