Quantification of Bacteria in Oral Samples by Competitive Polymerase Chain Reaction

Abstract excerpt

Information about the total amount of bacteria in oral samples contributes to assessment of an individual's risk of contracting dental caries or developing periodontitis and the prediction of that individual's clinical course. Since existing techniques are often time-consuming and expensive, it seemed attractive to look for alternative methods for the quantification of eubacteria. With their high specificity and...
