BACKGROUND: Black stain is a discolouration which mainly occurs along the cervical third of buccal or the lingual surfaces of the teeth. It most commonly affects the primary dentition, but permanent dentition may also be affected. Studies state that children with black stain are generally caries free. Thus the aim of the study is to evaluate the levels of Streptococcus salivarius in children with black stain and to correlate it in children with dental and non carious children. AIM: To estimate levels of Streptococcus salivarius in children with black stain. OBJECTIVE:. To compare and correlate the level of streptococcus salivarius in children with black stain, dental caries and non carious children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was done in school going children. 5ml of unstimulated saliva samples were collected in children with and without black stains and evaluated for Streptococcus salivarius colony forming units. Results were tabulated and statistics was done using SPSS software. RESULTS: The results showed that mean value of streptococcus salivarius is highest in the saliva samples collected from children with dental caries (591+ or – 87) and least in the children with black stains.The post hoc results showed that children with black stains was significant in comparison with without dental caries and in children with dental caries. CONCLUSION: The study shows that the levels of S.salivarius are higher in children with dental caries and are low in children with black tooth stains comparatively which is in correlation with previous studies.
