The Role of Dental Plaque Biofilm in Oral Health
WEBIn 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.
