Relationship between Plaque pH and Different Caries-Associated Variables in a Group of Adolescents with Varying Caries Prevalence

The pH response of the dental biofilm after a sugar challenge can be considered to mirror the acidogenic potential and thereby the caries risk of an individual. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the relationship between plaque pH and different caries variables in adolescents with...
