[Current status of research on anticaries vaccines].
The experiment which was performed in different animal special confirmed that Streptococcus mutans is the main etiological agent implicated in dental caries. Nonetheless, since the use of anti-Streptococcal vaccines might lead to severe side effects, research is now focused on obtaining purified vaccines that do not create cruciate cardiac cross-reactivity.
