The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of these three pathogenic species in children using the reliable and accurate new technology of DNA probes.

Prior to dental treatment subjects were administered tests of visual-motor development and dental knowledge. Children were randomly assigned to a toothbrushing-instruction (individual training in horizontal scrubbing) or no-instruction group. Within each group, subjects were assigned to an incentive (promise of a special prize for brushing well) or no-incentive condition. Plaque score measurements and toothbrushing skills evaluations were performed at the initial appointment and at a one-week follow-up. Brushing skills were predicted by visual-motor skills and by dental knowledge. Level of visual-motor development predicted the likelihood of missing fewer oral areas, while brushing incentive was found to affect overall improvement in plaque removal regardless of instruction.

Similarly, nearly half of the teeth affected by discoloration showed radiographic evidence of pulpal pathology after a mean recall period of 44 weeks.
