The hypothesis was tested that variations in the temperature of gingival crevices are linked to variations in plaque formation. Fifty-nine abutment teeth to removable partial dentures were studied during four experiments, under various conditions of plaque formation, i.e. not brushing the teeth whilst wearing and not wearing dentures, and performing ordinary and then specialized tooth brushing whilst wearing dentures. The collation of temperature curves with plaque curves revealed a proportional relationship between the rate and magnitude of plaque formation and the rate and magnitude of the recorded temperature changes. Furthermore, the removal of plaque resulted in a reversal of induced temperature rises. The lowest crevicular temperatures were obtained with the practice of the specialized tooth brushing.
该假设得到了验证，即牙龈沟温度的变化与菌斑形成的变化有关。在四项实验中，研究了59颗可摘局部义齿的基牙，实验条件包括在佩戴和不佩戴义齿时不刷牙，以及在佩戴义齿时进行普通刷牙和专门刷牙。温度曲线与菌斑曲线的对照显示，菌斑形成的速率和幅度与记录的温度变化的速率和幅度之间存在比例关系。此外，去除菌斑会导致诱导的温度升高逆转。专门刷牙时牙龈沟温度最低。
