Subsequently, a period of 21 days of washout was employed, and this protocol was repeated three times. Microbiological samples were obtained from the dorsum of the tongue at baseline and at the end of the period of coating accumulation and analyzed using the checkerboard DNA\u2010DNA hybridization technique.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The species found in highest mean counts at baseline and day 10 were <jats:italic>Prevotella melaninogenica<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Veillonella parvula<\/jats:italic>. The mean bacterial total counts enhanced significantly during the study (from 17.1 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup> to 33.7 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>). Proportions of red and blue complexes and levels of 18 species also increased after the period of coating accumulation, including several periodontal pathogens, such as <jats:italic>Prevotella
