Abstract
Plaque taken from specific sites from the dentures of twelve subjects varied in microbiological content. The ratio of acidogenic to total plaque microorganisms was highest in plaque taken from beneath the maxillary denture. Candida sp. appeared to favour an acidogenic plaque, but were always found in low proportions.Keywords
