Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background: play an important role in the etiopathogenesis and progression of dental caries (DC). Their quantification and identification may be helpful for epidemiological and early intervention measures. Objectives: with the location of DC and correlate their prevalence with the age of the patient. Materials and methods: MRS Agar. Manual counting of colonies on plates illuminated by transmitted light was done. Results were summarized and analyzed statistically. Results: were higher in pulp, followed by dentin and enamel. Conclusion: Bacterial colony counts may help in taking specific measures against specific organisms and thereby prevent the development of new carious lesions.
