Correlation of Dental Plaque Acidogenicity and Acidurance with Caries Activity – Perspectives of the Ecological Plaque Hypothesis
The ecological plaque hypothesis for the aetiopathogenesis of caries implies a microbial shift towards a more acidogenic and aciduric dental plaque microflora, due to a frequent carbohydrate intake. Certain plaque bacteria exhibit metabolic activity, at a low pH. A correlation exists between the increased numbers of some aciduric bacterial species, e.g. mutans streptococci and lactobacilli, and...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Cell Surface Hydrophobicity and Antibiotic Resistance of Streptococcal Strains Isolated from Dental Plaque and Caries
Objective Bacterial adhesion is governed by specific and nonspecific interactions such as hydrophobicity. Hydrophobic interactions play a role in the adherence of microorganisms to a wide variety of surfaces and facilitate biofilm formation due to bacterial adhesion. In this article the relation between cell surface hydrophobicity and antibiotic resistance was studied. Materials and Methods ...
متن کاملCorrelation between salivary urea level and dental caries.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the values of salivary urea in subjects with different caries activity. MATERIAL AND METHOD The planned trials were conducted in 80 children of both sexes, aged 16 years, with different caries activity. Based on the condition of teeth, the DMFT-index, respondents were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of 40 examinees with a lo...
متن کاملRisk Indicators and Risk Predictors of Dental Caries in Schoolchildren
The purpose of this study was to identify risk indicators of high caries level at baseline (HCLB) based on cross-sectional data and predictors of high caries increment (HCI) based on a 7-year-follow-up examination in 6-8-year-old schoolchildren. Two hundred and six schoolchildren were examined in 1997 and in 2004 by the same two calibrated dentists, in Piracicaba, Brazil. At baseline, dental ca...
متن کاملInsurance status and untreated dental caries in Virginia schoolchildren.
PURPOSE The purposes of this investigation were to: (1) provide a descriptive account of untreated dental caries for Virginia schoolchildren; and (2) examine the relationship between a child's insurance status and the presence of untreated dental caries. METHODS In 1999, the Virginia Department of Health completed an Oral Health Assessment on first-, third-, and 10th-grade children. The oral ...
