Figure 2
The mean log-transformed number and standard deviation of adhering P. gingivalis to the 3 types of brackets ( for each column). The data is split into the 4 distinct situations of non-saliva/saliva coating for P. gingivalis adhering alone or in combination with the other species. Numbers over each column represent the number of brackets with adhering P. gingivalis. (SS: stainless steel, PL: plastic, and CE: ceramic brackets).
