Oral microbiome profiles in pre-orthodontic patients stratified by CAMBRA
This project investigates the oral microbiome in pre-orthodontic patients stratified by the Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) system. Stimulated saliva and supragingival plaque samples were collected and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to evaluate microbial diversity and community structure across risk groups and associated clinical variables.
