Comparison of beta diversity among supragingival plaque groups. A Plot of NMDS analysis of dental plaque samples. Each point represents a different sample. When the stress is less than 0.2, the NMDS analysis has a certain reliability, and the closer the samples are on the coordinate map, the higher the species community similarity; B The UPGMA cluster tree of dental plaque samples. Different colours represent different groups. The closer the samples in the sample hierarchy cluster tree, the shorter the branch length, and the more similar the species composition of the two samples; C The ANOSIM analysis of dental plaque samples. The ordinate represents the beta distance
