The dental plaque biofilm matrix [PDF]
Periodontology 2000, 2021 The 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

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 ...

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.

Urease and Dental Plaque Microbial Profiles in Children. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Urease enzymes produced by oral bacteria generate ammonia, which can have a significant impact on the oral ecology and, consequently, on oral health. To evaluate the relationship of urease with dental plaque microbial profiles in children as it relates ...

Effects of tongue cleaning on bacterial flora in tongue coating and dental plaque: a crossover study [PDF]
BMC Oral Health, 2014 BACKGROUND: The effects of tongue cleaning on reconstruction of bacterial flora in dental plaque and tongue coating itself are obscure. We assessed changes in the amounts of total bacteria as well as Fusobacterium nucleatum in tongue coating and dental ...

Classification of Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence Images Using Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Images are an important data source for diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. The manual classification of images may lead to misdiagnosis or mistreatment due to subjective errors. In this paper an image classification model based on Convolutional Neural Network is applied to Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence images.

A Statistical Modeling Approach to Computer-Aided Quantification of Dental Biofilm [PDF]
, 2014 Biofilm is a formation of microbial material on tooth substrata. Several methods to quantify dental biofilm coverage have recently been reported in the literature, but at best they provide a semi-automated approach to quantification with significant input from a human grader that comes with the graders bias of what are foreground, background, biofilm ...
