Oral hygiene status was assessed based on the Tongue Coating Index (TCI) [30], which was modified slightly in this study as follows. The tongue was divided into the anterior, central, and posterior sections. The degree of tongue coating was evaluated on a two-point scale and recorded as “with tongue coating“ or “without tongue coating” by visual examination. Poor oral hygiene was diagnosed as shown in Table 1.
