Mean counts (×105) of the 38 test species at baseline, 2 and 6 months post-SRP in the three treatment groups. Subjects in the SRP and SRP+PPC groups rinsed with placebo. The species were ordered according to the microbial complexes described by Socransky et al. (1998). Counts of individual species were averaged within a subject and then across subjects in each treatment group at each time point. The significance of differences between baseline and 6 months post-SRP was assessed using the Wilcoxon test (* p<0.05), and adjusted for 38 comparisons (Socransky et al. 1991). SRP: Scaling and root planing; PPC: Professional plaque control; CHX: Chlorhexidine rinsing.
