Dental black plaque: metagenomic characterization and comparative analysis with white-plaque

Volume: 10, Issue: 1
Published: Sep 29, 2020
Abstract
Extrinsic black dental staining is an external dental discoloration of bacterial origin, considered a special form of dental plaque. Currently, there is no definitive therapeutic option for eliminating black stain. This study employed 16S rRNA metagenomics to analyze black stain and white-plaque samples from 27 adult volunteers. Study objectives were to: describe the microbial diversity of adult black stain samples; characterize their taxonomic...
