Abstract
To evaluate microbial data and salivary measurements from clinically compatible, culture-based screening procedures employed with children younger than 36 months old. Plaque and stimulated saliva specimens were collected from 87 children. The pH of each saliva sample was measured before and after 0.94% lactic acid was added. Specimens were diluted and plated on selective media and non-selective media. Data collected were counts of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli (LB). In addition, total viable counts (TVC) of specimens, salivary pH and buffering capacity were also assessed. Each variable was compared to caries status of subjects. According to this study, the results were as followed: 1. Highly significant correlation with caries rates were found for counts of MS and LB. 2. The specific counts/ml saliva or plaque above which caries is predicted, or below which caries is not predicted were as follows: 1) Saliva MS;
3세 이하의 어린이에서 구강 내 미생물과 타액완충능이 치아우식증과의 관련성을 알아보았다. 87명의 어린이를 실험대상으로 하여 치태와 자극성타액을 각각 면봉과 면구를 이용하여 채취하였다. 0.94%의 lactic acid를 타액 표본에 첨가하기 전과 후의 pH를 각각 측정하였고 타액표본을 순차적으로 희석하여 선택배지와 비선택배지에 접종하였다. Mutans streptococci (MS), lactobacilli (LB), total viable count (TVC)의 집락수와 타액의 pH와 완충능을 어린이의 치아우식과 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 자극성타액과 치태 모두에서 MS와 LB가 치아우식증과 높은 통계학적 유의성을 보였다. 2. 치아우식의 발생을 예측할 수 있는 미생물의 집락수는 다음과 같았다. 1) 자극성 타액 1 ml당 MS 집락수가
