Prediction of dental caries in pre-school children.
TL;DR: Combining tests made the prediction of caries more accurate and in the population for which it was intended gave a reliable means of detecting those children most in need of enhanced caries prevention.

A scheme for the identification of clinical isolates of Gram-negative anaerobic bacilli by conventional bacteriological tests.
TL;DR: More than 1000 strains of gram-negative anaerobic bacilli, including reference strains, clinical isolates, and members of the normal flora of the mouth, lower gastro-intestinal tract and vagina of healthy human subjects, were studied by conventional bacteriological methods and by gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of metabolic products.

The characterization of clinically important gram negative anaerobic bacilli by conventional bacteriological tests.
TL;DR: A scheme for the identification of unknown laboratory isolates of Gram negative anaerobic bacilli is presented and certain tests were found useful for identifying recognized subspecies of B. fragilis and B. melaninogenicus.

Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of metabolic products in the identification of bacteroidaceae of clinical interest
TL;DR: The acid end-products of 185 isolates from the family Bacteroidaceae were separated and analysed by gas-liquid chromatography on broth cultures and the potential application of the GLC technique to the rapid and accurate identification of these organisms in hospital laboratories is considered.

Dental caries and cariogenic factors in pre-school urban Icelandic children
TL;DR: There were strong associations between high counts of S. mutans or lactobacilli and caries and the misuse of sugar as determined by dietary questionnaire was strongly associated with a high caries score and low caries prevalence was found in those children that took fluoride tablets regularly.
