Summary

Adolescence remains a period during which tooth decay is still very active. There are few epidemiological studies in adolescents, and the majority of them were young people aged 15 and under. Early studies have characterized the interdental periodontal microbiota in healthy adults but, to our knowledge, no studies have analyzed the caries interdental microbiota in young people between 15 and 17 years of age. The main objective of this study is to describe the interdental microbiota in adolescents by a quantitative detection system using real-time PCR methodology. It will quantify 26 major interdental pathogens. The secondary objective is to analyse the distribution of these bacteria according to the level of caries risk and salivary risk.

Fifty Caucasian adolescents were recruited for this cross sectional study.
