- Brief Summary
At baseline, there was no significant difference in the SHS scores between the groups. However, the scores increased over time in the MTB group (3.16±4.86 to 5.66±5.20) and decreased at the one-month recall in the OBG and MB groups (OBG group: 1.53±3.24, MB group: 1.41±3.49). Compared with the MTB group, the MB group showed a significant decrease over time. Regarding QHI, the values decreased from baseline at the one-month recall in all three groups (OBG group: 2.2 ±0.72 to 1.39±0.53, MB group: 1.79±0.72 to 1.19±0.69, and MTB group: 1.99±0.84 to 1.74±0.79), but at the six-month recall, the values in the OBG and MTB groups increased (OBG group: 1.68±1.11, MTB group: 1.86±1.25), while those in the MB group decreased (0.85±0.63). Even though there was a significant difference among the MB, OBG, and MTB groups, there were no significant differences in H2S and CH3SH levels among the three groups during the entire study period. Regarding microbiota, there was no significant difference in the high-risk periodontal microbiota over time among the three groups). Likewise, there was no significant difference in the ratio of caries-risk microbiota to anti-caries microbiota between the OBG and MB groups. However, compared to the baseline in the MTB group, the ratio of caries-risk microbiota significantly increased, but the ratio of anti-caries microbiota significantly decreased at the three- and six-month recall.
