ABSTRACT

Objective. To identify oral variables that could be used as predictors for identification children at risk of dental caries.
Material and methods. Sixty six children of 6 years old, without caries, were studied for the measured of salivary flow and the acidification of the saliva. The bacterias mutans and lactobacilos were quantified in saliva and dental plaque. Thirty months later, they were examined to know which one have caries, in order know its association to the variables studied before.
Results. Thirty five percent the children’s developed some caries lesion. The acidification velocity of saliva was the best indicator for caries prediction (p ‹ 0.016); this indicator had a sensibility of 78% in the identification of the children which developed caries but its specificity was better (82%) for children which will have.
Conclusions. The acidification velocity of saliva imakes the possibility to identify the velocity of biofilm acidification.
