[Levels of S. mutans and Lactobacilli in the dental plaque of caries-prone and caries-free persons].
The ratio of Streptococcus mutans to the total streptococci and lactobacilli to the total plaque bacteria in dental plaque (smooth-pits and fissures) of 10 caries-prone, mean, number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) 13, and 10 caries-free mean DMFT 1.7, Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry students ages 19-22 is investigated. The ratio of S. mutans to the total streptococci in the smooth-surface plaque was found lower than pits and fissures in the caries-prone and caries-free groups. The ratio of S. mutans to the total streptococci in the smooth surface and pit and fissures plaques in the caries-prone group was found higher than caries-free group.
