Orthodontic treatment has been associated with changes in oral microbial flora, particularly among pediatric populations. Many studies have focused on the alterations in the prevalence of cariogenic pathogens, such as Streptococcus mutans. Recent evidence has revealed a newly discovered Gram-positive cariogenic pathogen, Scardovia wiggsiae – although few studies exist that explore prevalence am...

The effects of dietary sucrose and systemic glucocorticoid treatment on the response of the pulpodentinal complex to dental caries were examined in an experimental rat model. The possible role of dentinal caries on dentin formation was also examined. After 5-6 weeks of a dietary and/or medication period, the areas of dentin formation and dentinal caries were quantified in the molars of growing ...
