The performance of 2 American Public Health Association standard laboratory methods, the R2A spread plate and the SimPlateTM for heterotrophic plate count, for quantifying heterotrophic microorganisms in dental waterline samples was evaluated. Microbial counts were underestimated on SimPlateTM compared with R2A, and the results indicated a poor correlation between the 2 methods.
