Abstract:
:Samples of human dental plaque were pooled from several "white spot" smooth tooth surface areas as well as from several clinically-sound tooth surface areas in each of 12 caries-positive college students. Each of the two samples from each subject was used for the determination of: (1) pH-lowering potential in vitro involving dispersed plaque suspensions, excess glucose supply, and a 60-minute test, and (2) the proportions of mutans streptococci and lactobacilli. When all subjects were considered, plaques from "white spot" areas, as compared with samples from sound surface areas, were characterized by significantly higher proportions of mutans streptococci, a lower starting ("resting") pH, a faster rate of pH drop between pH 6.0 and 5.0, and a lower minimum pH of the suspension; the lactobacillus proportions were generally very low in both types of plaques. For individual subjects, however, the proportions of mutans streptococci in plaque associated with "white spot" areas showed a wide range (0.001-10.0%), and samples with high as well as low levels of these micro-organisms could exhibit a high rate of pH drop and a low pH minimum. This suggests that, besides mutans streptococci and lactobacilli, other bacteria capable of acidogenesis at a low pH may contribute to the high pH-lowering potential exhibited by many plaques.
