**8. Conclusion**

The oral diseases caries, periodontal diseases, periapical and endodontic lesions, perimplantitis, and oral mucosal infections are microbial in origin. Bacteriophages are useful candidates for these biofilm-mediated diseases. As antibiotic resistance has become a matter of global concern, the bacteriophages or phage therapy can be used particularly to reduce the impact of acute infections. Moreover, antibiotics have a limited effect on the biofilm and are not much useful for the treatment of oral diseases. However, few bacteriophages are not effective against degrading biofilms; therefore, enzymatic or engineered phages are being investigated. Phages are low in cost, easy to isolate, and efficient against biofilm, and are bacteria specific. Phages have a great potential to be used in the prevention, control, and therapeutics of oral infections.
