Verified by Hadassah Medical Organization, January 2007

Sponsored by:	Hadassah Medical Organization
Information provided by:	Hadassah Medical Organization
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00421577

Purpose

There is a simple laboratory technique for localization of caries associated bacteria on tooth surfaces by taking an impression of the teeth with a material containing sucrose.

The purpose of this study is to check whether the technique can be incorporated into dental clinics as diagnostic tool comparing to other diagnostic methods available.
