Microbial dysbiosis is a hallmark of this destructive oral disease. We examined a panel of oral bacteria for susceptibility to the major cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), portended by an initial in vivo microbiome analysis of marijuana users and non-users with periodontitis. Multiple ora…

Materials and methods The subgingival biofilm with 32 species related to periodontitis was formed in the Calgary Biofilm Device (CBD) for 7 days. Two different therapeutic schemes were adopted: (1) treatment with HCOBc, 0.12% chlorhexidine (C…
Background The endocannabinoid system is involved in the regulation of periodontal tissue homeostasis. Synthetic cannabinoid methanandamide (Meth-AEA) has improved stability and affinity to cannabinoid receptors compared to its endogenous analog anandamide. In the present study, we investigated the effect of methanandamide on the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in primary human periodontal ligament cells…
