  • Title: Distribution of cariogenic bacteria in carious lesions around tooth-colored restorations.
    Author: González-Cabezas C, Li Y, Gregory RL, Stookey GK.
    Journal: Am J Dent; 2002 Aug; 15(4):248-51. PubMed ID: 12572643.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To compare the distribution of the three most suspected cariogenic groups of bacteria, mutans streptococci, Actinomyces naeslundii genospecies 2, and lactobacilli in carious lesions around tooth-colored restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples from extracted teeth with clinical secondary caries around tooth-colored restorations were immuno-labeled with antibodies to the referred groups of bacteria and subsequently analyzed three dimensionally using confocal microscopy. RESULTS: The three different bacterial groups were usually present in secondary caries around tooth-colored restorations suggesting that they are involved in its formation and development.
