Research Abstract |
The distribution rate of Gemella in the plaque of the caries-free group showed the high tendency compared with that of the caries-experienced group. In the plaque of the caries-free group, G. haemolysans was detected predominantly duringthe biofilm formation stage. On the other hand, in the plaque of caries-experienced group,G. morbillorum and G. sanguinis were detected by the high ratio in the late stage, while G. haemolysans showed the high distribution rate in the early stage. These results indicate that the distribution rates of Gemella and Gemella spieces in a plaque differ between both groups, suggesting that Gemella may be involved in caries incidence.
