Abstract
A material for evaluating dental caries activity that is capable of evaluating dental caries activity, i.e., the released amount of an acid from dental plaque, which is important in dental health, by a simple manner in a short period of time, contains an absorptive material having carried thereon a pH indicator having an indicator range of pH 3.5 to 8.0 and a sugar, and has been adjusted to have a pH value higher than the indicator range of the pH indicator, in which dental plaque taken from a subject is directly applied on the material to evaluate dental caries activity by change in color.
