Baseline supragingival plaque microbiome sample
Baseline oral microbiome sample collected before any oral hygiene intervention. Supragingival plaque was collected using a sterile swab from the buccal surfaces of the Ramfjord teeth. When Ramfjord teeth were unavailable, the buccal surfaces of the remaining teeth were swabbed. The swab was placed in a sterile DNA/RNA Shield collection tube, and the sample was stored at -80 C within 3 hours of collection.
