mkg-9796	Indrawati, Retno	Horizontal transmission of Streptococcus mutans in children attending kindergarten	2018	6	.pdf	application/pdf	3997	208	57	Gamboa (2010) argues that low transmission rates can occur due to short contact time and less intimate contact between individuals.13,15 Furthermore, research conducted by Klein found that S. mutans transmission can be transitory or permanent, strongly influenced by various factors, including: behavior, the frequency of salivary contact, S. mutans levels present in individuals, culture, environmental conditions (socio- economic and/or education), individual vulnerabilities (e.g. sucrose consumption) and the window for potential infection occurring at the age of 8.64 months.5,6 Another piece of previous research conducted by Berkowitz which involved 786 one-year olds also identified high caries risk factors for such children such as S. mutans infection, fluoride exposure, eating habits and oral hygiene (OHI).2 The results of this research can be detected from cross- tabulation between the Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) and age, indicating that the OHI is in poor category (no data shown). Nowadays, the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) molecular method can be employed to evaluate S. mutans transmission.	cache/mkg-9796.pdf	txt/mkg-9796.txt
