Abstract:Objective:
The objective is to determine predominant flora and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains in patients with pericoronitis.
Methodology:
The study group comprised 30 patients presenting with the clinical diagnosis of acute pericoronitis. The subgingival plaque sample was collected from the distal cervice of the third molar pericoronal pouch. Gram staining was performed, and aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture was done fo… Show more
