A new method for counting the numbers of spirochaetes in subgingival plaque is described. The technique involves the combined use of a negative stained preparation, dark field microscopy, and an image analysing system. Advantages of the method include: smears need not be made until 2 days after sampling, and can be examined microscopically for up to 1 year after preparation; reproducibility of counts are more than 90% and the data can be computerised. The new method should prove useful in the routine assessment of subgingival plaque from patients with various forms of periodontitis, and in epidemiological surveys.
