Abstract: Helicobacter pylori(Hp),a microaerobic and motile bacterium,is well-adapted to survive in the stomach and is associated with numerous gastric disorders.Hp can be transmitted through the oral cavity and has been detected in dental plaque,saliva,and feces.Consequently,the oral cavity is thought to be a potential host for Hp.The necessity of removing Hp from the oral cavity following the eradication of intragastric Hp remains a topic of debate.This review explores the relationship between oral hygiene and the eradication of intragastric Hp.It aims to elucidate the mechanisms of Hp existence in the oral cavity,the development of oral conditions related to Hp presence,and the factors contributing to the bacterium's eradication and recurrence.Additionally,it provides a reference for future studies aimed at improving Hp eradication protocols.
