Candida albicans enriched in orthodontic derived white spot lesions (WSLs) and shaped supragingival microbiome

This study aimed to evaluate the change of supragingival plaque microbiome in orthodontic patients with or without WSLs. In addition, the prevalence of C. albicans and its association with oral bacteria and the severity of WSLs were also studied.

本研究旨在评估伴或不伴白斑病变（white spot lesions, WSLs）的正畸患者龈上菌斑微生物组的变化。此外，本研究还探讨了白色念珠菌（Candida albicans, C. albicans）的检出率及其与口腔菌群及WSLs严重程度的相关性。
