Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differential multicolonization of microorganisms in the different aesthetic elastomeric ligatures determined by means of the molecular biology method, Checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization assay, from the finding of a statistically significant difference of at least 5% in the count of microorganisms between ligatures after intervention;Outcome found: It was found multicolonization of microorganisms in different elastic ligatures determined by means of the molecular biology method, Checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization assay, but with no statistically significant difference (P = 0.3747) in the count of microorganisms between the ligatures after intervention | — |
