Pediatric patients face many challenges to oral and periodontal health, including the placement of fixed orthodontic appliances during adolescence. One of the more recently identified periodontal pathogens is the organism Selenomonas noxia or S. noxia. Objectives: Due to the pauc...
Objectives: Selenomonas species such as S. noxia are associated with poor oral health and oral prevalence of this organism may be useful as a biomarker to determine patient oral health. Current studies are now revealing novel insights into the epidemiology of the newly discovered...
