Oral Microbiome of Adults in Sound and Cariogenic Biofilm with and without Dental Caries. A Pilot Study

Dental caries is the most common non transmissible disease of the human being, both in developed and underdeveloped countries, and leads the group of the four chronic diseases with the highest cost of treatment [1]. In Chile, almost 100% of the adult population has experienced dental caries disease [2], similar to what has been observed in another country, with special vulnerability in the low and middle-low socioeconomic levels [3].
