| an inquiry into the decay of teeth. | john hunter's observations on dental caries are described and various early speculative theories of its nature and causation are mentioned. with the demonstration in the late 19th century of the chemicoparasitic nature of the late 19th century of the chemicoparasitic nature of the disease attention focused on dietary methods of prevention. an account is given of research carried out at the royal college of surgeons in the past 25 years, with particular reference to efforts to develop a means of ... | 1982 | 6753700 |
| salivary microflora and caries experience in 5-year-old children from two ethnic groups. | the purposes of the study were threefold: to compare salivary levels of mutans streptococci and lactobacillus in 140 5-year-old children from two ethnic groups, to correlate caries experience of each group with bacterial counts, and to determine levels of infectivity which could indicate high caries activity in young children. pakistani-muslim and white caucasian children were paired, matched for age, gender and caries experience. there were no significant differences in mutans streptococci or l ... | 1995 | 17252660 |
| relationships between dietary behaviours, oral hygiene and mutans streptococci in dental plaque of a group of infants in southern england. | this report is part of a prospective study on dietary behaviours, feeding practices, oral hygiene and dental health during the first 18 months of life in a cohort of infants living in southern england. in this part of the study the prevalence of mutans streptococci in the plaque of 1-year-old children and its correlation with sociodemographic status, dietary behaviour and oral hygiene practices over the first 12 months of life were studied. dietary habits, oral hygiene and dental health at 18 mo ... | 2002 | 12102766 |
| correlating streptococcus mutans counts in saliva with plaque amount, gingival inflammation and caries experience in school children. | samples of stimulated whole saliva were obtained from ninety-four 12-14-year-old school children living in inner london to evaluate if there was a correlation between streptococcus mutans counts in saliva with plaque amount, gingival inflammation and caries experience. s. mutans counts were obtained by a dip-slide method (dentocult 'strip mutans') in which the count was expressed as 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 based on visual estimation of the colony density. there was no association between counts' of s. ... | 1995 | 9582684 |
| dental caries and caries-associated micro-organisms in the saliva and plaque of 3- and 4-year-old afro-caribbean and caucasian children in south london. | three and four-year-old caucasian and afro-caribbean children (n = 641) attending childcare facilities in the london boroughs of lambeth, lewisham and southwark were studied in order to determine the prevalence of caries and caries-associated micro-organisms and the interactions between these for each of the racial groups; dmft (decayed, missing or filled teeth) scores were recorded using british association for the study of community dentistry criteria. saliva and plaque samples were taken from ... | 1996 | 9068865 |
| dental disease, caries related microflora and salivary iga of children with severe congenital cardiac disease: an epidemiological and oral microbial survey. | the objectives were to determine levels of dental caries, plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, knowledge of dental health practices, and oral bacterial loading of s. mutans, lactobacillus sp., candida sp., and salivary iga in the mouths of children afflicted with severe congenital heart disease. a total of 60 children from the cardiac units of the hospital for sick children and guys hospital paediatric department were compared with 60 case-matched control children from the department of o ... | 1996 | 8784915 |
| associations between dietary intake, dental caries experience and salivary bacterial levels in 12-year-old english schoolchildren. | a population of 328 12-yr-old english schoolchildren, consuming their normal diets, was investigated in a cross-sectional study to determine the interactions between caries experience, oral hygiene status as gingival index (gi), dietary intake (as number of eating events per day and the number of eating events per day at which sugar-containing foodstuffs, confectionery or starch-containing foods were consumed) and salivary levels of caries-associated micro-organisms (mutants streptococci, lactob ... | 1996 | 8735013 |
