[Predictive potential of a microbiological caries activity test in preschool children--2-year results].
In a clinical trial the predictive potential of a microbiological screening test for identifying patients with increased caries activity was evaluated. Within a period of 2 years microbiological data and caries increments were found to correlate well. Of the results in 113 preschool children, only 4 proved to be false negative, i.e. only 4 children were wrongly allocated to a non-risk group. As the test is easily handled, it is excellently suited both for group and individual screening programs.
