Abstract
Dental caries is a concern of every person regardless of race, age, gender, or socioeconomic level. The ability to determine a person’s susceptibility to dental caries is a prominent area of research to identify both cause and effect. It is estimated that more than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental-related illness Department of Health and Human Services, In addition, The Academy of Pediatrics reported that human dental flora is site specific, and an infant is not colonized with normal dental flora until the eruption of the primary dentition. It has been well documented that mothers who have a high caries risk can pass the cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans to their infants In other words, this automatically predisposes the infant to a high caries risk. On the other hand, employed adults lose approximately 164 million hours of work each year due to dental disease. It is apparent that the ability to assess caries susceptibility is advantageous for all populations and groups. Looking at the specificity of the Streptococcus mutans test, we recognize that “specificity of a diagnostic procedure is the percentage of disease-free individuals who are diagnosed correctly”. The data collected concerning specificity showed that the test did identify the proportion of patients who were correctly identified by the test. the test is an accurate test to use as a chair side tool. In addition, we have concluded that are important tools as well in the diagnosis of dental caries. It is important to recognize that a false positive test result could eventually result with a positive DMFT and x-rays. With this in mind, the dental professional could educate the patient and start preventive measures to decrease the microbial load in the oral cavity. Although this test was performed on an 18 and above population, it can be a useful tool on patients of all ages in the quest to detect caries susceptibility.
