Bacterial Diversity of Deep Carious Lesions Analysed by Next‐Generation Sequencing Approaches Associated With Different Pulp Diagnoses: A Systematic Review
The NGS studies evaluated in this review create a preliminary, but comprehensive map of the microbiome of deep caries associated with a range of pulpal diagnoses. Α shift in microbiome as the asymptomatic cases become progressively symptomatic seems to occur, which may be relevant to management of deep caries in terms of complete or selective caries removal.
