Immunoglobulins in human dental plaque

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1979
Immunoglobulins have been found previously in human gingiva, gingival fluid, serum and smeas of dental plaque. In the present study their presence and distribution in situ have been studied by immunofluorescence on the approximal surfaces of childen's teeth extracted due to caries or for orthodontic reasons. There wee also preliminary investigations of

Wet Weights of Dental Plaques

Journal of Dental Research, 1978
A method for weighing samples of plaque using a weighing assembly comprising a sample-bearing boat, held in a closed capsule to avoid moisture loss to room or balance environment is described. The system described is an objective device for measuring, by wet weight the amounts of plaque accumulating under various conditions of oral hygiene.

Carbohydrates in Pooled Dental Plaque

Caries Research, 1972
Dental plaque was collected from approximately 3,500 schoolchildren, and immediately pooled and frozen. The lyophilized plaque was processed in several batches as follows:After an aqueous extraction the water-insoluble portion was further extracted with 1 N KOH.

Dental plaque

1988
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the dental plaque. The dental plaque is complex and contains a wide variety of micro-organisms, including those with little or no specific affinity for the true host oral surfaces but colonizing on the pre-existing flora.

Relationship Between Dental Plaque Indices and Bacteria in Dental Plaque and Those in Saliva

Journal of Dental Research, 1987
A variety of indices has been developed for the quantitation of dental plaque. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the Löe plaque index and the number of bacteria on the same tooth. Furthermore, the effect of plaque accumulation on the salivary counts of some dental plaque organisms was estimated.

Red Autofluorescence of Dental Plaque Bacteria

Caries Research, 2006
Red autofluorescence of plaque and its relation to fluorescence of a single species in the biofilm was studied. Fluorescence images of non-disclosed and disclosed plaque of 28 first-year students were captured. The plaque samples were assessed by culture methods and studied for red autofluorescence.

Mechanisms of Dental Plaque Formation

Advances in Dental Research, 1994
Much effort has been placed on elucidating the diverse mechanisms of microbial adhesion to tooth surfaces. Both specific and non-specific types of adhesion have been envisaged. Pioneer colonizers represent a selected part of the oral microflora, and it has been assumed that specific adhesinreceptor interactions between the microbial surface and the ...

Immunoglobulins of human dental plaque

Archives of Oral Biology, 1974
Abstract Pooled supragingival dental plaque was extracted with phosphate-buffered saline solution (PSS) at pH 7.5, followed by glycine-HCl buffer at pH 2.3. IgA, IgG and albumin (HSA) were detected, with specific antiserums, in both types of plaque extracts. IgM was not detected.
