Influences of orthodontic appliances on oral populations of mutans streptococci

Oral Microbiology and Immunology
C Jordan, D J LeBlanc

Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the influence of fixed appliances on the mutans streptococcal in a group of patients receiving orthodontic treatment. Mutans streptococcal counts in stimulated saliva of 27 patients were obtained at baseline, and at 1-month intervals for 4 months. The difference in mutans streptococcal counts at baseline and at the 4-month sampling was less than an order of magnitude in 18 of the patients, between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude in eight of the patients, and 3 orders of magnitude in one patient. Restriction endonuclease digests of genomic DNA from representative mutans streptococci isolates taken from baseline and 4-month saliva samples, as well as from 4-month tooth and appliance surfaces, were examined by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, after restriction endonuclease digestion. Results of the DNA banding patterns associated with isolates from 19 patients showed that, for 12 patients, all isolates examined represented the same clone of Streptococcus mutans, whereas for six patients two different S. mutans clones were detected. One patient yielded three different clones of S. mutans. A much larger number of baseline, as well as post-appliance, isolates will have to be examined from each patient in ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
