Abstract: Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease that occurs in dental tissues. It develops in a progressive irreversible manner and eventually leads to the defect or loss of dental tissues. Caries is extremely high incidence in the population, affecting the patient's life quality seriously. It is critical to study the etiology of caries and prevention. FQ-PCR can quantitatively study the etiology and pathogenesis of dental caries and find out the micro-flora closely related to dental caries and provide a new method for the prevention and treatment of dental caries.

Key words: Caries, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, Lactobacillus, FQ-PCR
