Overall oral microbiome composition by group visually represented using principle coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots at week one. Oral microbiome composition was significantly different between the bioactive-infused mouth rinse group and chlorhexidine mouth rinse group using (A) Bray–Curtis and (B) unweighted unifrac. Each point represents a single oral microbiome sample. Red points denote the bioactive-infused mouth rinse group; Grey points denote the chlorhexidine mouth rinse group. Significance defined as p < 0.05. No significant difference (p > 0.05) was observed between the groups using weight unifrac analysis.
