Article Synopsis
- The study examined the presence of certain harmful bacteria (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) in dental plaques from children aged 3 to 17.
- Findings revealed that these bacteria were more commonly found in tooth plaque compared to tongue and buccal mucosa plaques, particularly in the age group of 10 to 14 years.
- The results suggest that the occurrence of these periodontopathic bacteria may increase during the circumpubertal period in children.
