The acid pattern in human dental plaque.

W Distler, A Kröncke

    Journal of Dental Research
    |February 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study analyzed lactic and volatile acids in dental plaque after sucrose exposure. Individual plaque acid profiles varied, with some subjects showing significant acid increases post-sucrose.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Microbiology
    • Dental Research

    Background:

    • Dental plaque harbors microorganisms crucial for acid production.
    • Dietary sugars like sucrose are primary substrates for plaque bacteria.
    • Understanding plaque acid metabolism is key to preventing dental caries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify lactic and volatile acids in human dental plaque.
    • To investigate the in vivo response of plaque acid profiles to sucrose exposure.
    • To identify variations in acid production patterns among individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Standardized plaque samples were collected from 11 subjects.
    • High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for acid analysis.
    • Acid levels were measured before and after in vivo sucrose rinsing.

    Main Results:

    • Significant inter-individual differences in total acid content were observed.
    • The ratio of specific acids within plaque remained relatively consistent across subjects.
    • Plaque samples were categorized into two groups based on acid production response to sucrose: low responders and high responders.

    Conclusions:

    • Individual variability exists in dental plaque's metabolic response to sucrose.
    • A subset of individuals demonstrates a pronounced increase in plaque acidity after sugar intake.
    • These findings contribute to understanding cariogenic potential and personalized oral hygiene strategies.
