Microbial community composition at genus level (top 10 with the highest relative abundance). The top four genera were Fusobacterium, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, and Treponema. No statistically significant differences were identified among these genera within the periodontal treatment groups over time. Q-SRP: quadrant-wise subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP); FMS: full-mouth SRP without the use of antiseptics; FMD: full-mouth SRP within 24 h with disinfection using antiseptic applications; FMDAP: FMD combined with the use of subgingival erythritol air-polishing.
