Instructions for Use
Description
CRT bacteria is used to determine the mutans streptococci
and lactobacilli count in saliva by means of selective
culture media.
Indication
• In vitro diagnostics
• Bright agar surface: determination of lactobacilli count
in saliva
• Blue agar surface: determination of mutans streptococci
count in saliva, or plaque
Contraindication
Do not use CRT bacteria during treatment with antibiotics.
After such treatment, at least two weeks should pass
before CRT bacteria is used. After the use of an
antibacterial mouthrinse, at least 12 hours should
pass before CRT bacteria is used.
Application
The test is professionally conducted by the dentist and
skilled personnel.
Step by step procedure
1. Have the patient stimulate salivation by chewing the
enclosed paraffin pellet.
2. Collect the saliva in a suitable container.
Tip: Take this opportunity to measure also the
salivation rate and the buffer capacity of saliva
with CRT buffer from Ivoclar Vivadent.
3. Remove the agar carrier from the test vial.
4. Place a NaHCO3-tablet at the bottom of the vial.
5. Carefully remove the protective foils from the two agar
surfaces. Do not touch the agar.

using a pipette. Avoid scratching the agar surface.
