Objective To summarize the current status of research in the correlation between the liver diseases and oral microbiota, to provide the scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases in the patients with liver diseases, and to provide the guidance for further research on the biomarkers for the noninvasive diagnosis of liver diseases.Method The related literatures about the studies of correlation between liver diseases and oral microbiota were reviewed by searching the databases such as the PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang, etc.Results As the second richest microbiota, the oral flora closely interacted with the hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. Meanwhile, the prognosis of patients underwent liver transplantation was also closely correlated to oral flora.Conclusions Specific oral flora in patients with different liver diseases may be a potential non-invasive diagnostic biomarker. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to oral health and maintain oral microbiota balance for preventing and treating of liver diseases.
