Table 2.
Percentual bacteria counts for the single strains tested at baseline and the end of observation after six months.
| Bacterial Species | Baseline | End of Observation | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GC | CC | GC | CC | |
| A. actinomycetemcomitans | 0.0 + 0.0 | 0.0 + 0.0 | 0.0014 ± 0.005 | 0.0 + 0.0 |
| T. forsythia | 0.197 ± 0.395 | 0.024 ± 0.395 | 0.033 ± 0.129 | 0.15 ± 0.364 |
| P. gingivalis | 0.0007 + 0.0026 | 0.0 + 0.0 | 0.013 ± 0.044 | 0.012 ± 0.051 |
| T. denticola | 0.136 + 0.0398 | 0.126 ± 0.038 | 0.051 ± 0.180 | 0.07 ± 0.221 |
No statistically significant changes were found, neither comparing baseline and end values by the Wilcoxon test nor comparing the treatment groups using Mann–Whitney test, respectively.
