    Author: Klimm W, Natusch I, Pöschmann M, Wichmann G.
    Journal: Zahn Mund Kieferheilkd Zentralbl; 1990; 78(4):267-71. PubMed ID: 2146825.
    Abstract:
    Among 300 patients 16-35-yr-old 21 of them showed a high individual caries risk. Estimation of caries risk was based on the following criteria: caries experience, sugar consumption, fluoride application, dry mouth, plaque accumulation, secretion rate, buffer capacity and S. mutans and lactobacillus counts in saliva. In case of high caries risk a sure diagnosis and directed preventive-therapeutic intervention depend on a complex consideration of all the risk factors.
