title: [Study of acidogenesis of dental plaque on cariogenesis using capillary electrophoresis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim was to investigate the relationship of acid production with caries onset.
  
  
  METHODS
  Short-chain organic acids of dental plaque from individual subjects were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis. Dental plaques from subjects of caries free and caries active, 21 for each group, were analyzed for 7 short-chain organic acids.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The in vivo production of lactic acid was a bit higher in caries active-group than in caries free group (but no statistic significance), however, no difference in vitro.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Therefore, it is hard to relate the net quantity of acid production to the caries onset.
