Abstract
This study examined the relationship between the quantity of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp. related to dental caries and the degree of acidity in saliva. A total of 240 saliva samples were taken from 80 subjects at the faculty of dentistry in Skopje, Macedonia. The saliva samples were taken by stimulating saliva production stimulation with paraffin chewing. However, no stimulation was applied when obtaining the samples used for measuring the pH. The data showed that in the caries group, S. mutans in 1 ml of saliva formed colonies with confluent growth (CFU >
이 연구의 목적은 타액이 산성일때 치아우식과 연관이 있는 Streptococcus mutans 와 Lactobacillus spp.의 양을 조사하여 치아우식의 지표로 사용될 수 있는지를 관찰한 외국인을 대상으로한 임상결과이다. 총 240개의 타액 표본들은 마케도니아(Macedonia), 스코프에(Skopje)에 위치한 St Kiril- Metodi 치과대학병원에서 환자 80명으로부터 얻었다. 표본들은 사전의 파라핀 저작(씹기)법에 의해 타액을 자극하여 얻어졌으나, 타액의 pH의 결정을 위해서 다른 자극은 사용되지 않았다. 치아우식 집단의 타액 1 ml에서 S. mutans는 100%의 confluent growth (CFU >
