Acknowledgement
We would like to thank Docsmedi Research Center at Apple Tree Dental Hospital for conducting an experiment to measure periodontal bacteria in saliva, which is the most important experiment for this study. The sequences of primers and probes used for bacterial measurement are not provided in this paper because of the confidentiality of Docsmedi Research Center.
