Abstract
A method is described for determining the total bacterial count of carious teeth in the cotton rat. Bacterial counts made by this method show that the greater numbers of organisms in carious teeth are located in the deep-fissure lesions and may only be detd. by grinding and culturing the entire tooth.Keywords
