Microbiological analysis of saliva and plaque samples from caries free (CF), caries experienced—no recurrence (CE-NR), and active recurrent caries (CR) groups. Panels A and B depict Mutans streptococci and Candida spp. counts in saliva samples and in healthy plaque (H), white spot lesion plaque (WS) and cavitated dentin plaque (D) from the study groups, respectively. The CFU counts among the three caries status groups were compared using general linear mixed modeling, controlling by age. Data shown are mean  ± SD values of log total colony count of Mutans streptococci and Candida spp. colonies.
