The caries predictive value of salivary counts of lactobacilli and yeasts was evaluated in 298 children (from 6 to 11 yr of age) concurrently to a 3-yr xylitol field study in Hungary. On a group level the salivary yeasts and the combined information of lactobacilli and yeasts predicted the 3-yr caries increment acceptably. On an individual basis salivary yeasts had more power than salivary lactobacilli. At best the sensitivity and specificity of yeasts were 74% and 75%, and the combined information of lactobacilli and yeasts, 69% and 83%, respectively. Although the results were not that good in all subgroups of the study, they indicate the value of salivary yeasts in caries prediction either as a sole test or together with salivary lactobacilli.
在匈牙利进行的一项为期3年的木糖醇现场研究中，同时对298名儿童（6至11岁）唾液中乳酸菌和酵母菌计数的龋齿预测价值进行了评估。在群体水平上，唾液酵母菌以及乳酸菌和酵母菌的综合信息对3年龋齿增量的预测效果尚可。就个体而言，唾液酵母菌比唾液乳酸菌的预测能力更强。酵母菌的敏感性和特异性最高分别为74%和75%，乳酸菌和酵母菌的综合信息的敏感性和特异性分别为69%和83%。尽管在该研究的所有亚组中结果并非都如此理想，但它们表明唾液酵母菌在龋齿预测中作为单独检测或与唾液乳酸菌一起检测的价值。
