The dental plaque biofilm matrix [PDF]
Periodontology 2000, 2021 AbstractThe extracellular matrix is a critical component of microbial biofilms, such as dental plaque, maintaining the spatial arrangement of cells and coordinating cellular functions throughout the structure. The extracellular polymeric substances that comprise the matrix include carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, which are frequently

Selfie Dental Plaque Index: A New Tool for Dental Plaque Assessment. [PDF]
J Clin Exp Dent, 2022 Plaque quantification indices are frequently used to evaluate personal oral hygiene. Education in self-care and self-diagnosis is effective in prevention and control of both dental and periodontal disease. Mobile technology has become a ubiquitous technology and can be particularly useful in the self-monitoring of health promotion.

Bacterial sex in dental plaque
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2013 Genes are transferred between bacteria in dental plaque by transduction, conjugation, and transformation. Membrane vesicles can also provide a mechanism for horizontal gene transfer. DNA transfer is considered bacterial sex, but the transfer is not parallel to processes that we associate with sex in higher organisms.

Functional expression of dental plaque microbiota [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Dental caries remains a significant public health problem and is considered pandemic worldwide. The prediction of dental caries based on profiling of microbial species involved in disease and equally important, the identification of species conferring dental health has proven more difficult than anticipated due to high interpersonal and geographical ...

Corncob structures in dental plaque reveal microhabitat taxon specificity
Microbiome, 2021 The human mouth is a natural laboratory for studying how bacterial communities differ across habitats. Different bacteria colonize different surfaces in the mouth—teeth, tongue dorsum, and keratinized and non-keratinized epithelia—despite the short ...

Dental plaque as a biofilm [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology, 1995 Dental plaque is the diverse microbial community found on the tooth surface embedded in a matrix of polymers of bacterial and salivary origin. Once a tooth surface is cleaned, a conditioning film of proteins and glycoproteins is adsorbed rapidly to the tooth surface.

Deep learning-based dental plaque detection on primary teeth: a comparison with clinical assessments
BMC Oral Health, 2020 Dental plaque causes many common oral diseases (e.g., caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis). Therefore, plaque detection and control are extremely important for children’s oral health.
