Figures & data
Figure 1. Microarray (HOMIM) illustrating the bacterial profile of a subgingival plaque sample.
Figure 2. Reverse capture checkerboard analysis of subjects with rampant caries and those with no caries. Plaque samples from healthy subjects (h) were compared to samples from intact enamel (a), whitespot lesions (b), cavitated lesions (c) and deep dentinal caries (d) from subjects with severe decay of the young permanent dentition. Mean bacterial signal for 29 of 110 selected bacterial species significantly associated with health and caries Citation[13]. Bacteria associated with health (green) and caries (red). Bacterial signal was measured by intensity of spot on checkerboard.
