TONGUE MICROBIOMA AS A PROGNOSTIC MODEL FOR DETERMINING THE SEEDING OF CARIESOGENIC BACTERIA OF STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS OF DENTAL HARD TISSUES IN YOUNG CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01N33/50 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine – dentistry/pediatric dentistry and microbiology/bacteriology. Method for determining the dissemination of cariesogenic bacteria by Streptococcus mutans of hard tooth tissues in young children involves the collection of biomaterial from the entire surface of the mucous membrane of the middle third of the tongue with sterile stupor, further the biomaterial is applied to standard test strips “Dentocult SM Strip Mutans” with a square end and a rough surface, they are placed in a selective nutrient medium for cariogenic streptococci, after incubation, the degree of colonization by streptococci of the microbiota of the mucous membrane of the tongue back is estimated, including their number in classes from 0 to 3, respectively from CFU < 10⁴/ml to CFU > 10⁶/ml, after referring to the class of dissemination of S. mutans microbiomas of the tongue, determine dissemination by them of the biotope of the lingual surface of the baby teeth, considering that the quantity/density/seeding/titer of S. mutans in the microbiome of the tongue statistically reliably corresponds to the Streptococcus mutans titer in the dental plaque of the tongue surface of the baby teeth.

EFFECT: invention can be used to determine the titer of cariesogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans in dental plaque on the model of the tongue microbioma in young children.
