Abstract
The frequency of five Streptococcus mutans serotypes (a, b, c, d and e) was investigated in relation to tooth surface and its caries status in young schoolchildren. In the first study, plaque from the five surfaces of a second deciduous molar in 104 five-year-olds was examined for the presence of S. mutans. In the second study, isolations were made from the occlusals and approximal surfaces of a second deciduous and a first permanent molar in five- to eight-year-olds. The isolates were characterized biochemically, and then serotyped with antigen extracts against whole cell and ‘purified’ cell wall antisera using comparative immunoelectrophoresis. Of the 348 plaque isolates, type c was the prevalent serotype (91.1%). In the first study, a significant relation was found between the occurrence of type c and caries on the occlusal surfaces. However, the second study showed type c to be evenly distributed on the occlusals and approximal surfaces irrespective of caries status. This leaves open the possibility that certain types may be commensals.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
