Longitudinal assessment of selected periodontal pathogens in subgingival plaque samples at baseline (BL) and day 90 (D90). Subgingival plaque samples from all patients were analysed at baseline and day 90 following non-surgical periodontal therapy (NST) for the proportion of P. gingivalis (A), A. a (B) and P. intermedia (C) using 16S rRNA sequencing (n = 42). Each dot shows one patient. Patients who were negative at BL and D90 were not included. Statistics refer to Wilcoxon signed rank tests where * p < 0.05. A. a: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.
