The Predominant Cultivable Flora of Carious Plaque and Carious Dentine
Abstract
The quantitative recovery of bacteria from single localized sites, namely the interproximal plaque over a carious lesion and the underlying carious dentine, was undertaken. The samples were collected with minimal oxygen exposure and after dispersion and serial dilution were plated on mitis salivarius agar and various formulations of MM10 agar (a dilute trypticase, yeast extract medium). Higher total counts, Strep, mutans and Strep, sanguis counts were obtained on MM10 supplemented with 5% sucrose. Strep, mutans accounted for 3% of the plaque isolates and 24% of the dentinal isolates. Lactobacillus casei was a prominent organism averaging about 21% of the dentinal isolates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
