Mean values of thickness (µm) in PL-biofilm, as well as the intra-treatment and inter-treatment comparisons.

Mean values of thickness (µm) in PL-biofilm under basal conditions and at 30 seconds and 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours after a single mouthrinse of sterile water and 0.2% Chlorhexidine, as well as the intra-treatment and inter-treatment comparisons.– Not a statistically significant difference; M-water = a single, 30-second mouthrinse with 10 mL of sterile water; M-0.2% CHX = A single, 30-second mouthrinse with 10 mL of 0.2% Chlorhexidine; BASAL = Biofilm sample collected under basal conditions; 30 SEC = Biofilm sample collected at 30 seconds after the application of the different mouthrinses; 1 H = Biofilm sample collected 1 hour after the application of the different mouthrinses; 3 H = Biofilm sample collected 3 hours after the application of the different mouthrinses; 5 H = Biofilm sample collected 5 hours after the application of the different mouthrinses; 7 H = Biofilm sample collected 7 hours after the application of the different mouthrinses.
