Fig. 4

Comparison of the thickness of the biofilm structure between the control group (C) and the sonic toothbrush combined groups (C + ST, G + ST, and L + ST). The left panel shows a representative transmission image of a frozen longitudinal section of the biofilm (scale bar, 30 μm). The biofilm thickness was measured from the bottom surface of the biofilm to the top surface of the biofilm. The thickest parts were measured for each section. Data are presented as means ± SD (n = 25, Steel-Dwass test). Same alphabetic character indicates that values are not significantly different (p > 0.05)
