A New Type of Chronic Wound Infection after Wisdom Tooth Extraction: A Diagnostic Approach with 16S-rRNA Gene Analysis, Next-Generation Sequencing, and Bioinformatics

Delayed-onset infections are rare postoperative complications of lower third molar extractions. This article presents a case of a chronic combined hard and soft tissue infection after the extraction of a third molar, where the causative organisms could only be elucidated by molecular methods. Experi...
