The consistency of the individual patterns of plaque distribution was evaluated over a period of time. Fifteen, first semester dental students, who had not received special home care instructions. were evaluated on five alternate days according to the criteria of the Plaque Index system. The study has shown that the pattern of plaque distribution demonstrated by each of the individuals was unique. Also. while various regions of the dentition were sometimes free from plaque and sometimes covered by plaque other areas existed in the mouths, of all subjects which were consistent: either clean or covered by plaque. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
