Abstract：
:The purpose of this study was to examine whether Streptococcus mutans is implicated in the generation of fluorescence detected in carious lesions. Enamel surfaces and dentin cavities of extracted human teeth were subjected to artificial caries generation by exposing them either to a culture medium containing S. mutans or to a lactic acid buffer for 2 weeks. Fluorescence from the lesions was detected with confocal laser scanning microscopy or fluorescence microscopy at various excitation wavelengths, and maximum fluorescence radiance was computed using imageanalyzing software. Culture media of S. mutans were also examined for fluorescence generation. The results demonstrated that S. mutans-induced enamel and dentin lesions exhibited increased fluorescence in the red and green spectral regions, with the signal stronger in the red region. In the blue region, however, fluorescence signals in the corresponding area were below the background level. Significantly weaker or virtually no fluorescence was detected in lactic acid-demineralized lesions at all excitation wavelengths. Neither bacterial cells nor culture media generated any fluorescence. These results indicate that, although the presence of S. mutans may be a prerequisite for the emission of fluorescence from carious lesions, some interaction of S. mutans with exposed tooth matrix elements may also be required for the generation or unmasking of fluorophores.
