The literature on the subject of dental bacterial plaque is extensive. In spite of considerable research, the mode of its formation together with the variability in bacterial content requires further clarification. Mechanical methods of plaque control are effective but limited in a population sense.

Dental plaque is a complex biofilm that accumulates on the hard tissues (teeth) in the oral cavity. Although over 500 bacterial species comprise plaque, colonization follows a regimented pattern with adhesion of initial colonizers to the enamel salivary pellicle followed by secondary colonization through interbacterial adhesion.

Haemophili in developing dental plaque
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1976abstract— Evidence for a possible role played by oral haemophili in the development of dental plaque was sought by studying the occurrence of these bacteria in early dental plaque of smooth surfaces and occlusal fissures in six dental students. The mean number of haemophili per 103 anaerobes in early smooth surface plaque (18 h) and fissure plaque (7 d)

Immune Components in Dental Plaque
Journal of Dental Research, 1976Acquired pelicle appears to contain primarily IgA and other proteins of salivary origin. With the increased time necessary for plaque formation, gingival crevicular fluid contributes proteins to the growing plaque accumulation. However, secretory IgA is still the major intact immunoglobulin in plaque samples since appreciable portions of the molecules ...

Metabolism of xylitol in dental plaque
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1985Abstract – It has been reported previously that xylitol added to glucose used to challenge dental plaque in vivo caused a reduced acid formation. The aim of the present study was to approach the mechanism by which xylitol may affect glucose catabolism in plaque bacteria.

Advances in Dental Research, 2000
Dental plaque is being redefined as oral biofilm. Diverse overlapping microbial consortia are present on all oral tissues. Biofilms are structured, displaying features like channels and projections. Constituent species switch back and forth between sessile and planktonic phases. Saliva is the medium for planktonic suspension.

Nature and Composition of Dental Plaque
Nature, 1961ALTHOUGH dental plaque is often mentioned in dental literature, its chemical composition has received little attention. Current literature frequently refers to “dentobacterial plaque” with the implication that it consists principally of bacteria. Manly1, however, brushed teeth with a detergent prior to the collection of a film, which he called “brown ...

Dental Plaque Morphology and Induction
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1972Investigators consider plaque to be an early stage of calculus. The plaque matrix may contain a modified protein on which the calculus crystals may form. Another view is that lowering of the pH to 5 or 6 may cause a protein to precipitate on which the calcium crystals deposit.

Oral diseases in man, such as periodon-titis and dental caries, are not caused by single pathogenic organisms but appear to be the result of the complex biological interactions of the various organisms of which dental plaque is composed.

Activation of complement by dental plaque
Journal of Periodontal Research, 1980Dental plaque samples and oral bacterial cells consumed complement (C) in human serum. No significant difference was found between the C binding ability of dental plaque samples from patients with periodontal disease and those of samples from healthy individuals.
