Abstract: Objective: The microbial composition of pericoronitis (Pc) is still controversial; it is not yet clear if the microbial profile of these lesions is similar to the profile observed in periodontitis (Pd). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe the microbial profile of Pc lesions and compare it directly with that of subjects with Pd. Methodology: Subjects with Pc and Pd were selected, and subgingival biofilm samples were collected from (i) third molars with symptomatic Pc (Pc-T), (ii) contralater… Show more

“…Pericoronitis has a varied microbiota that is distinct from the germs that cause periodontitis. Actinomyces oris, Eikenella corrodens, Eubacterium nodatum, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Treponema denticola, and Eubacterium saburreum were shown to be highly prevalent in a study of the microbiota of pericoronitis (35). Pericoronitis, to put it briefly, is caused by bacterial proliferation in an area that is difficult to clean.…”
