The leukocyte migratory rate (OMR) was estimated with serial mouth rinses, in healthy children, adolescents and adults with the following results (X̄+ s.d.): 0.305 ± 0.094, 0.221 ± 0.102, 0.266 ± 0.115. The number of teeth and the number of erupting teeth did not influence the OMR. The OMR values obtained were uniform with small individual variations, representing healthy conditions in the mouth.
