Structural and functional changes in the oral microbiome of patients with craniofacial microsomia

Abstract excerpt

Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is the second most common congenital craniofacial deformity, presenting diverse clinical manifestations and treatments that may influence oral bacteria dysbiosis (OBD). However, research linking CFM to OBD is limited. Saliva samples were collected from 20 patients with CFM and 24 controls.
