Pairwise alpha diversity comparisons of saliva and caries microbiota. a. Boxplot of chao1 diversity in the three groups. Outliers are represented by black points. Significant differences between groups are shown by arrows and the following notation: p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**) and p < 0.001 (***). b. Boxplot of observed species in the three groups. Outliers are represented by black points. Significant differences between groups are shown by arrows and the following notation: p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**) and p < 0.001 (***). c. Boxplot of Phylogenetic diversity in the three groups. Outliers are represented by black points. Significant differences between groups are shown by arrows and the following notation: p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**) and p < 0.001 (***). d. Boxplot of Shannon diversity in the three groups. Outliers are represented by black points. Significant differences between groups are shown by arrows and the following notation: p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**) and p < 0.001 (***)
