    The document discusses a study that evaluated the efficacy of different concentrations of chlorhexidine mouth rinses in reducing mutans streptococci bacteria levels in saliva. The study found that chlorhexidine mouthwash is effective at reducing these cariogenic bacteria, and that higher concentrations resulted in greater reductions. Maintaining low levels of these bacteria is important for preventing dental caries, as they are closely associated with the development of cavities.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Dental caries is an infectious disease that occurs because of an imbalance in the homeostasis between host and oral flora. Imbalance is mainly due to:Emergence of cariogenic microorganisms in the complex community known as DENTAL BIOFILM. Mutans streptococci is closely associated with the development of dental caries.
