Dental biofilm pathogenicity in the oral cavity is magnified by specific biofilm characteristics and modern molecular biological techniques have identified about 1000 different bacterial species in the dental biofilm, twice as many as can be cultured.

2022年10月16日 · In recent years, increased understanding of how the oral microbiome impacts systemic health offers newer ways to remove biofilm and combat disease. Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) in particular has emerged as a sound method of biofilm removal on oral surfaces, with many dental professionals considering it a true game-changer in how they practice.

2022年7月1日 · Dental biofilm is a collection of living cells that—if left alone—can cause gingivitis, decay, and periodontal disease. Biofilm alone is not enough to cause systemic diseases—those are multifactorial—but it elevates risk.

Dental biofilm plays a very crucial role in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal andperi-implant diseases. Over the past decade, tremendous research has been carried outto know the structure of biofilm and the mechanism by which it causes the …

Bacterial microorganisms in the mouth can enter the circulation, affect the heart’s function, and bind fatty plaque in the coronary arteries. Dental biofilms can cause periodontitis and gingivitis and even lead to tooth decay. Chronic bacterial infections cause almost all periodontal diseases.

2022年8月1日 · Dental biofilm is the root cause for many oral diseases like dental caries and periodontitis, that eventually leads to extreme toothache and tooth loss.

In recent years, dental plaque has been identified as a biofilm, and the structure, microbiology, and pathophysiology of dental biofilms have been described. The nature of the biofilm enhances the component bacteria's resistance to both the host's defense system and antimicrobials.

Dental biofilm forms via an ordered sequence of events, resulting in structured and functionally organized species rich microbial community and modern molecular biological techniques have identified about 1000 different bacterial species in the …

If removed regularly, the dental biofilm mainly comprises oral streptococci and is regarded as resident microflora. But if left undisturbed, a complex biofilm containing up to 100 bacterial species at a site will build up and may eventually cause development of disease.

2021年8月13日 · According to recent scientific studies, it may be possible to reduce the risk of developing some cancers by addressing oral biofilms. Alisa Cooper, DC, and Janis Spiliadis, CRDH, take a deep dive into how the oral microbiome impacts systemic health.

2022年8月1日 · Biofilm forms on dental surface, may be natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of the two, which is required to be identified and removed clinically to maintain oral health. The integrity of the tooth material plays an important role for wellbeing of the implanted tooth and can be maintained by the patient with common homecare protocols.

The networks of multiple synergistic and antagonistic interactions generate microbial inter-dependencies and give biofilms a resilience to minor environmental perturbations, and this contributes to oral health.

2022年10月28日 · Dental biofilm is an accumulation of bacteria that hardens and forms tartar; which is hard bacterial plaque that is difficult to remove with tooth brushing. It is important to clarify that biofilm is not the same as bacterial plaque.

Dental plaque is a structurally- and functionally-organized biofilm. Plaque forms in an ordered way and has a diverse microbial composition that, in health, remains relatively stable over time (microbial homeostasis).

2025年1月6日 · Dental plaque, for example, is a type of biofilm formed by a sticky collection of bacteria, salivary proteins, and dead cells from the oral mucosa that increases the risk of dental caries. On the other hand, biofilm-forming bacteria on the gastrointestinal tract protect the gut by preventing pathogens like Clostridium difficile from proliferating.

3 天之前 · Fungal biofilms form on abiotic substrates, such as orthodontic appliances (caries or gingivitis), dentures (denture stomatitis), dental implants (implantitis), blood pressure cuffs (dry surface ...

Dental plaque is a type of biofilm that forms on the teeth and gums. It is a major cause of tooth decay and gum disease, which are two of the most common oral health problems worldwide. Dental plaque begins to form shortly after tooth surfaces are cleaned and is initially composed of a layer of salivary proteins and glycoproteins that adhere to ...

4 天之前 · An in vitro biofilm model associated to dental implants: structural and quantitative analysis of in vitro biofilm formation on different dental implant surfaces. Dent Mater . 2014 Oct;30(10):1161–1171. doi: 10.1016/j.dental.2014.07.008 Epub 2014 Aug 7.

Dental plaque is an archetypical biofilm composed of a complex microbial community. It is the aetiological agent for major dental diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease. The clinical picture of these dental diseases is a net result …

2025年2月1日 · Tested materials and sample size calculation. To evaluate the performance of four dental sealant materials, an in vitro study was conducted. Sample sizes for each material group (Table 1) were determined using G*Power, considering a significance level of α = 0.05, power of 80%, and an effect size of 0.8.A 10–20% increase in sample size was incorporated to …

Oral microbial biofilms are three-dimensional structured bacterial communities attached to a solid surface like the enamel of the teeth, the surface of the root or dental implants and are embedded in an exo-polysaccharide matrix .

Arguably the most thoroughly characterized biofilm matrix polymers in dental plaque are the glucan and fructan polysaccharides that are produced by the action of extracellular glucosyltransferase and fructosyltransferase enzymes on sucrose. 8 These polysaccharides are considered to be important virulence factors in the pathogenesis of dental car...
