Dental plaque formation

Microbes and Infection, 2000
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.

Saliva and Dental Plaque

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.

Immune Components in Dental Plaque

Journal of Dental Research, 1976
Acquired 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, 1985
Abstract – 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.

Nature and Composition of Dental Plaque

Nature, 1961
ALTHOUGH 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 ...

Haemophili in developing dental plaque

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1976
abstract— 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)

Immunoglobulins in human dental plaque

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1979
Immunoglobulins have been found previously in human gingiva, gingival fluid, serum and smeas of dental plaque. In the present study their presence and distribution in situ have been studied by immunofluorescence on the approximal surfaces of childen's teeth extracted due to caries or for orthodontic reasons. There wee also preliminary investigations of

Activation of complement by dental plaque

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1980
Dental 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.
