The abundance of phyla Bacteroidetes and genus <i>Solobacterium</i> was notably higher in the OSCC group when compared with the OLK group, whereas those of genus <i>Streptococcus</i> was significantly lower in the OSCC group when compared with the OLK.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>These changes in the salivary microbiome may have potential applications as a novel diagnostic tool for the early detection of OSCC.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry","volume":"10 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/jicd.12445","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41606974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
