Description
The goal of this project is to study the changes in the oral flora of an individual's mouth pre-cleaning and post-cleaning due to everyday brushing. The oral flora comprises many microorganisms such as Staphylococcus and Lactobacillus that are constantly changing. In previous studies, the diversity and abundance of these microorganisms in the oral cavity are subject to change in the times following pre-cleaning and post-cleaning. This study will examine saliva samples from consenting individuals, will be collected pre-cleaning (brushing) and post-cleaning of the oral cavity. The samples will then be tested for the population size and diversity of different microorganisms in the oral cavity.
