Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An orally induced bacteremia is measured after brushing (after 30 seconds). For this purpose, the oral microbiom of the saliva is measured by means of a dorsal tongue smear before brushing the teeth. This is then compared with the microbiom of the blood after brushing. A blood sampling is carried out after brushing the teeth. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
