  • Title: Enhancement of Streptococcus mutans colonization by direct bonded orthodontic appliances.
    Author: Mattingly JA, Sauer GJ, Yancey JM, Arnold RR.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1983 Dec; 62(12):1209-11. PubMed ID: 6361082.
    Abstract:
    Patients undergoing orthodontic therapy were evaluated for longitudinal changes in relative S. mutans numbers in plaque at discrete sites on the tooth surface associated with direct bond appliances. There was a significant linear increase in the percentage of S. mutans in the total streptococci isolated from the last pre-bracket sample through the last bracket sample.
