| Research Abstract |
This investigation clarified that bacterial community structure in saliva is more similar to that of tongue coating rather than that of supragingival plaque. In addition, it revealed that bacterial community structure of saliva is stable in dental and periodontal treatment, while bacterial composition in supragingival plaque greatly alters. It is suggested that a novel treatment approach is needed for the improvement of bacterial community structure of saliva.
