Caries experience and mutans streptococci as indicators of caries incidence.
Studies indicate that previous caries experience can influence future caries development; however, caries-free individuals also may develop caries. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between baseline caries experience and salivary mutans streptococci (SMS) levels as an indicator for predicting caries incidence in pre-school children. One hundred forty-eight preschool children...
متن کاملPrevalence of mutans streptococci and dental caries in Pakistani children.
The caries status of two hundred and eighteen 12 year old school children from four schools of Karachi and Lahore was determined through a WHO pathfinder survey. In addition, the levels of mutans streptococci in the sample were estimated in order to define the proportion of children with high and low mutans levels. A mean DMFT of 1.82 (1.67-0.03-0.12), for decayed and filled teeth respectively;...
متن کاملEfficacy of Enamel Remineralizing Agents in Prevention of Dental Caries Around and Beneath Orthodontic Brackets
Background and purpose: Enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets is a significant problem. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) varnish and fluoride varnish in preventing enamel demineralization around and beneath orthodontic brackets. Materials and methods: Twenty extracted premolars were randomly divided into two g...
متن کاملDetection of oral streptococci in dental biofilm from caries-active and caries-free children
This work correlated the presence of oral streptococci in dental biofilm with clinical indexes of caries and oral hygiene in caries-active and caries-free children. S. mutans and/or S. sobrinus in the dental biofilm does not indicate a direct risk for developing dental caries.
متن کاملIn situ study of sucrose exposure, mutans streptococci in dental plaque and dental caries.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among frequency of sucrose exposure, mutans streptococci levels and dental caries. Adult volunteers took part in this crossover study performed in 4 phases of 28 days each. The volunteers wore intra-oral palatal appliances containing blocks of human dental enamel and dripped 20% sucrose solution onto the dental blocks from 0 to 8 tim...
