Objective:
The aim of this article is to provide the detailed study of the changes in the lactobacilli indices of the oral biotope in health and in caries progression in individuals.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: Materials included on reports and data of research projects conducted at the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry and Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology, Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy (Poltava), at the Department of Microbiology of Danylo Halytsky National Medical University (Lviv), completed in 2013;research data documented by the Department of Microbiology, Medical Stomatological Institute (now Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy, Poltava) in 1978; literature related to the subject matter. Methodology: the standard methods of dental examination recommended by WHO; methods of system analysis and system approach, bibliosemantic analysis .
Results:
Results: The presented results indicate that the number of representatives of different types of oral microflora in the oral microbiocenosis is different at different stages of human life. The content of Lactobacilli in children decreases following the rise even under increased dmft indices.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The data observed are of great clinical interest when considering the role of Lactobacilli in the protection of the host organism and the initiation of the carious process.

Assessment of the Mouth
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
