(U.R) Ohio State University scientists are trying to learn why one person in 100 is never bothered by tooth decay. A three-year study shows that this lucky exception apparently is resistant to decay regardless of age. sex. race, dietary habits, or how often he brushes his teeth. Dr. Gordon E. Green, chief in vestigator of the study, said the researchers want to know why some persons are "immune"' to the bacterial disease as dental caries. It is a disease caused by bacteria found in almost every one's mouth. The researchers compared the bacteria from mouths of caries free persons and from those who have tooth decay. The most striking difference in bacterial content was in the number of iifctobacilli. This is the acid-producing substance believed to play a major role in tooth de cay. The scientists said the study is not complete. The evidence in dicates there is a substance or mechanism in the mouths of caries-frce persons capable of "managing" the lactobacilli, and possibly other acid-producing germs, in such a way that tooth decay comes slowly if at all.
