This was to assess oral salivary lactobacilli levels compared with oral health in a group of 12-year-old schoolchildren in Tartu, Estonia.
Whole saliva samples were collected and transferred to dip-slides (Dentocult LB) and incubated at 37 degrees C for 3 days. Dental caries, dental plaque, and data concerning the general health, dental habits and eating patterns were recorded.
Salivary lactobacilli were found in all children, with a quarter of them having high or very high lactobacilli counts. Caries prevalence of 75% and 2.6 DMFT were recorded. A positive correlation was found between the DMFS counts and the lactobacilli counts.
High levels of salivary lactobacilli were found in Estonian schoolchildren. Caries indicators of these children were slightly higher than in the same age group in Nordic countries.
本研究旨在评估爱沙尼亚塔尔图一组12岁学童的口腔唾液乳酸杆菌水平,并与口腔健康状况进行比较。
收集全唾液样本并转移至浸涂玻片(Dentocult LB),于37℃孵育3天。记录龋齿、牙菌斑以及有关总体健康、口腔习惯和饮食模式的数据。
所有儿童唾液中均发现乳酸杆菌,其中四分之一的儿童乳酸杆菌计数高或非常高。龋齿患病率为75%,龋均为2.6。发现乳牙龋失补牙面数(DMFS)计数与乳酸杆菌计数之间存在正相关。
爱沙尼亚学童唾液中乳酸杆菌水平较高。这些儿童的龋齿指标略高于北欧国家同年龄组。
