title: [Comparison of subgingival plaque buccally and interdentally localized during 3-week experimental gingivitis in humans].
abstract: During 21 days of abolished oral hygiene and developing gingivitis the microbial changes were studied in buccal and interdental sites. The subgingival plaque of 6 dental students was analyzed by darkfield microscopy. The microbiota found in interdental sulci showed a higher complexity than that of buccal sites. Buccally and interdentally there was a significant increase in the total number of microorganisms between days 0 and 21. Yet, the development of gingivitis was slower in the buccal than in the interproximal sites. For all bacteria, but specially for more disease-associated morphotypes the accumulation rate was higher interdentally than buccally.
