Abstract
By means of an electrometric pH meter, a special micro glass electrode and a microburette, the buffer capacity of dental plaques was detd. in different pH ranges. The buffer capacity of the plaque was much greater than that of the saliva. The plaque may have the ability to store the acid produced by bacteria and to hinder the saliva from neutralizing it. This may be of great importance for the development of caries.
