A prophylaxis followed by 3 topical applications of an I-KI solution significantly reduced the levels of S. mutans in fissures and approximal plaques and in saliva. Reductions persisted 20-24 wk after treatment in salivary and approximal samples. A prophylaxis alone exerted a small and temporary reduction of S. mutans in occlusal fissure plaque but did not reduce the levels of this organism in approximal plaque or in saliva. A significant relationship existed between the levels of S. mutans in saliva and the proportions of this organism in plaque. The dorsum of the tongue may not constitute a significant reservoir for S. mutants following disinfecting procedures.
