Study Summary
The fact that dental caries remains a major public health problem mandates that oral-health researchers explore new strategies for assessment of caries risk, as well as for caries prevention and management. Dental caries occurs when acids produced by bacterial glycolysis of dietary carbohydrates causes demineralization of the tooth enamel. A major focus of caries research has been on identifying and characterizing acid-generating bacteria and the mechanisms of acid resistance. The purpose of this study is to investigate over time the relationship between alkali production and caries.
Primary Outcome
Saliva and dental plaque will be collected during the study visit. The amount of ammonia produced via the ADS by oral bacteria present in the collected oral samples will be measured using a standardized protocol.
