Table 2. Overview of in-vitro red fluorescence as observed in medium with serum.

Saliva number Gender of the donor Age of the donor Clinical percentage of red plaque fluorescence after a 14 days no oral hygiene challenge [16] BOMP (%) after a 14 days no oral hygiene challenge [16] In-vitro red fluorescence, anaerobe serum group In-vitro red fluorescence, both sucrose groups

The clinical percentage of red plaque fluorescence refers to the amount of red fluorescent dental plaque present after 14 days no oral hygiene [16]. The BOMP refers to the percentage of sites in the mouth which are bleeding on marginal probing after 14 days no oral hygiene [16].
