The effect of repeated professional supragingival plaque removal on the composition of the supra‐ and subgingival microbiota
Open accessAbstract
Background, aims: The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the effect of weekly professionally administered supragingival plaque removal on the composition of the supra and subgingival microbiota. Methods: 18 adult subjects with periodontitis who had been treated and were in a maintenance phase of therapy were clinically and microbiologically monitored at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months. After the baseline visit, the subjects received scaling and root planing followed by professional supragingival plaque removal every week for 3 months. Clinical measures of plaque accumulation, bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival redness, suppuration, pocket depth and attachment level were made at 6 sites per tooth at each visit. Separate supra (N=1804) and subgingival (N=1804) plaque samples were taken from the mesial aspect of all teeth excluding third molars in each subject at each time point and evaluated for their content of 40 bacterial taxa using checkerboard DNA‐DNA hybridization. Significance of changes in mean counts, prevalence and proportions of bacterial species over time in both supra and subgingival samples were determined using the Quade test and adjusted for multiple comparisons. Results: Mean % of sites exhibiting plaque, gingival redness and BOP were significantly reduced during the course of the study. Significant decreases in mean counts were observed in both supra and subgingival samples. Mean total DNA probe counts (×10 5, ±SEM) at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months were: 133±19, 95±25, 66±6, 41±6 (p<0.001) for supragingival samples and 105±22, 40±10, 19±4, 13±3 (p<0.001) for subgingival samples. Mean counts of 22 of 40 and 34 of 40 species tested were significantly reduced in the supra and subgingival samples respectively over the monitoring period. For example, mean counts of Porphyromonas gingivalis×10 5 at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months in the subgingival plaque samples were 2.0±0.4, 0.5±0.2, 0.6±0.3, 0.3±0.1 (p<0.001); Bacteroides forsythus 2.0±0.6, 0.4±0.1, 0.4±0.2, 0.1±0.2 (p<0.001); Treponema denticola 3.4±1.1, 0.8±0.3, 0.4±0.2, 0.3±0.3 (p<0.01). Similar reductions were seen in supragingival plaque samples. While counts were markedly reduced by professional plaque removal, the proportion and prevalence of the 40 test species were marginally affected. Conclusions: Weekly professional supragingival plaque removal profoundly diminished counts of both supra‐ and subgingival species creating a microbial profile comparable to that observed in periodontal health. This profile was maintained at the final monitoring visit, 9 months after completion of therapy.

The Abstract and Microbiological findings (page numbers unavailable) report significant reductions in species counts in both supragingival and subgingival samples. The Discussion describes a state resembling health only as conceivable, not as a demonstrated comparison with healthy patients. The Abstract also notes that scaling and root planing preceded the weekly plaque removal, so the claim overattributes the observed change to plaque removal alone. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
