Abstract | The aim of this study was to determine the predominant supragingival cultivable bacterial flora in Chinese individuals, using the experimental gingivitis model. A total of 11 healthy dental students, mean age 22.5 years (range 20-25) were recruited. All were provided with once-a-week dental prophylaxis and oral hygiene reinforcement for 3 weeks to ensure gingival health. In the fourth week, after prophylaxis, the participants entered a 14- day period without any plaque control. A plaque sample was collected at days 1, 3, 7 and 14 from the buccal surface of the upper right canine, second premolar, first premolar and first molar, respectively. Each sample was then dispensed in tryptic soy-broth transport medium and grown anaerobically to obtain pure cultures, which were subsequently identified. Results showed that Gram-positive cocci and rods were the predominent cultivatable species (51- 61%) in the samples throughout the 14-day period; with time there was a decreasing percentage of cocci and an increasing percentage of rods. Gram- negative cocci and rods increased in proportion with the plaque age (11- 37%). Streptococcus spp. were the predominant Gram-positive cocci while Actinomyces were the predominant Gram-positive rods isolated. Fusobacterium and Capnocytophaga spp. were the two most frequent Gram-negative anaerobic rods cultured. The results compared with those from other analogous studies from the West suggest the possibility of interracial differences in supragingival plaque flora. |
