Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the transmission of Streptococcus mutans in a group of Turkish families using AP-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection. METHODS: Eight mothers who had high S. mutans levels in unstimulated saliva and 8 children aged between 2 and 3 years participated in the study. Plaque samples from each child were collected with the tips of sterile toothpicks for S. mutans counts. Although...
