Summary

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the distribution of pathogenic species and genotypes of bacterial diversity in 7 stages ICDAS (International Caries Detection and Assessment System) corresponding to the severity of dental caries among patients aged 3-45 years consulting in the Dentistry Departments of the Nîmes University Hospital and the Montpellier University Hospital.

Detailed description

Secondary objectives include: * Compare the distribution of bacterial species in relation to stages of severity of caries * Compare the results from plaque with those of saliva samples.

Conditions

• Dental Cavity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dental cavity evaluation	The dental cavities present will be evaluated using the ICDAS (International Caries Detection and Assessment System).
BIOLOGICAL	Saliva sampling	A saliva sample will be harvested.
BIOLOGICAL	Plaque sampling	Plaque samples from a healthy tooth and a tooth with a cavity will be harvested.
