  		Figure 1. Cumulative prevalence of Streptococcus mutans colonization for 0 to 24 mos of age in all subjects. This Fig. shows the cumulative prevalence of Streptococcus mutans colonization from birth to 24 mos of age at each three-month interval for all infants (pre-term and full-term) within the study. It represents a combined prevalence of pre-dentate and dentate colonization over the entire duration of the study. "n value" is the total number of infants in the study, which is 312, at each three-month interval.

  		Figure 2. Prevalence of Streptococcus mutans colonization after tooth eruption in pre-term and full-term infants at ages 6 to 24 mos. This Fig. shows the cumulative prevalence of Streptococcus mutans colonization after tooth eruption in infants who were not previously colonized during the pre-dentate period. The black columns represent the cumulative prevalence of Streptococcus mutans colonization after tooth eruption in full-term infants, while the white columns represent the pre-term infants. "n value" for pre-term infants is 33 and for full-term infants is 76, at each three-month interval. The Fig. illustrates prevalence rates, and therefore, estimate of variability is not included.
