FIG 6 

Distribution of the viable counts of bifidobacteria in plaques dosed with (DA) and without (DN) arginine dentifrice in the presence (C) and absence (R) of sucrose. Box plots: red, DN with sucrose; cyan, DA with sucrose; green, DN without sucrose; magenta, DA without sucrose. For details, see the legend to Fig. 1. Counts of bifidobacteria were significantly (P < 0.001) higher in cariogenic plaques dosed with DN and with DA. Resting plaques dosed with DN had significantly (P < 0.001) higher counts of bifidobacteria than those dosed with DA.
