The oral microbial flora may be significantly altered by orthodontic therapy and the use of fixed brackets. Most research has focused on cariogenic pathogens, while some evidence demonstrated an increase in many known periodontal pathogens. However, little is about prevalence Gram-negative pathogen Selenomonas noxia (SN) among these patients. Using existing saliva biorepository, n = 208 samples from adult pediatric non-orthodontic patients were identified screened for presence SN using qPCR validated primers. In study sample (n 89), 36% tested positive SN, with comprising more SN-positive (87.5%) than SN-negative (78.9%), p 0.0271. 119), was found 28.6%, 58.8% only 28.2% negative (p < 0.0001). These data that both exhibited higher compared age-matched controls. As this microorganism associated not disease but also long-term health issues such as obesity, needed regarding factors microbe.
