The saliva of 29 children ages 3 to 7 years was followed by indirect immunofluorescence to determine the antibody reacting with the 5 different serotypes of S mutans. Fluorescent antisera specific for {alpha} chain and {gamma} chain were used. Statistical analysis of the data demonstrated a significant negative correlation between antibody of immunoglobulin class (IgA) to S mutans type b and the decayed, extracted, and filled surfaces of deciduous teeth.
