1. Bacteria-agglutinating glycoproteins in human saliva : an in vitro study with special reference to Streptococcus mutans
Abstract : The activity and specificity of salivary glycoproteins (agglutinins) aggregating various human indigenous microorganisms were studied in vitro. The agglutinin reacting with a serotype c strain of Streptococcus mutans was isolated and chemically characterized.The results can be summarized as follows:1. READ MORE

5. Fluoride concentration in plaque and saliva and its effects on oral ecology after intake of fluoridated milk
Abstract : According to WHO, the addition of fluoride to milk could be considered as an alternative to water fluoridation for community-based caries prevention in childhood. School-based schemes in developing as well as industrial countries have demonstrated substantial benefits on oral health, but there are limited data available on the local events in the oral cavity after consumption of fluoridated milk.
