Longitudinal dynamics of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) microbiota. (A) Overview of the study design and sample collection. (B) Venn diagram of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) in six comparison groups. Day 0: before treatment; day 7: 7 days after treatment; day 14: 14 days after treatment; day 30: 30 days after treatment; day 90: 90 days after treatment; day 180: 180 days after treatment. (C) The alpha diversity of the GCF microbiota over time. The Simpson index compared between microbiota of each time point and before treatment. Significance was measured using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (P > 0.05, ns).
