Clinical and microbiological parameters of naturally occurring periodontitis in the non-human primate Macaca mulatta

Background: Non-human primates appear to represent the most faithful model of human disease, but to date the oral microbiome in macaques has not been fully characterized using next-generation sequencing.Objective: In the present study, we characterized the clinical and microbiological features of naturally occurring periodontitis in non-human primates (Macaca mulatta).Design: Clinical parameters of periodontitis including probing pocket depth...
