Comparison of paperpoint and curette sampling of subgingival microbiome composition as analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing
Objective: Our aim was to compare the subgingival microbiome composition in samples collected by curettes and paperpoints. Methods: Subgingival plaque of rheumatoid arthritis patients with periodontitis (N=66) or gingivitis (N=15) was collected at two timepoints by sterile curettes and paperpoints....
