The aim of this study was therefore to determine whether elevated antibody responders to D-alanyl LTA show a association of DMFT with fluoride exposure and gingival health not apparent in low responders.
A number of studies have demonstrated that long treatment of both CsA and TAC is associated many side effects such as nephrotoxicity, hypertension, and gingival hyperplasia [ 1 2 ] . Rapamycin clinically termed, as Sirolimus (SRL) is a new immunosuppressive agent, which is structurally similar to TAC, binds to same binding protein FKBP, but has different mechanism of action [ 3 ] . Both clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that SRL when used either with CsA or alone is associated with side effects like hyperlipidemia, thrombocytopenia and nephrotoxicity [ 4 5 6 7 ] . SRL and TAC compete for the same binding site and hence it was thought they could not be used concomitantly.
The clinicians agreed strongly with respect to all measurements (correlation coefficients, r > 0.85; p < 0.001) except gingival bleeding index, for which a weaker correlation was noted (r = 0.60, p < 0.001).

Streptococcus mutans in which DCP is inactive do not initiate growth at below pH 6.5 and make glycerol LTA without D-alanine [ 14 ] . In the DCP active strains, soluble D-Alanyl LTA is extruded into culture fluid in vitro [ 16 17 ] or plaque in vivo [ 18 ] . The D-alanyl esters are stable at pH 6.0 at 37°C, but hydrolyze to free D-alanine and LTA with a half-life of 3.9 h at pH 8.0 [ 19 ] .
