Brief Summary

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the presence of black tooth stain (BS) and dental caries incidence, dental plaque scores and to examine the colonization of Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus spp., Actinomyces spp. and Capnocytophaga spp. in dental plaque samples with or without BS. The socioeconomic status of the family, the oral hygiene and dietary habits of the children, medical and dental history of the children were also compared between two groups.
