Dental plaque biofilms are polymicrobial communities found on oral surfaces embedded within a matrix of host salivary components and microbial extracellular products. Communication between the ...

A new perspective work reveals insights into the development of bacterial biofilms, highlighting how these communities adapt ...

Toothpastes promise everything from cavity protection and stronger enamel, to whiter teeth. What is the best toothpaste to use, and what do dentists use?

As oral microbiota proliferate, they form a tough, gluey biofilm, known as plaque, that adheres to the teeth and gums. These microbes produce acids that etch cavities into teeth. They also lead to ...

For example, proteins form complexes, while accumulation of minerals templated by organic extracellular matrix may lead to biomineralization of biofilms such as the formation of hardened plaque on ...

While camo patterns and high-performance outerwear tend to get all the glory, the base layer is the real hero of hunting apparel. Whether sitting still for hours in a deer stand or hiking miles ...

Together, these bacteria form tough, sticky biofilms, known as plaque, that adhere to teeth and soft tissues, colonizing an area about the size of your hand. “These bacteria are familiar to our ...

Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

Biofilm is a slimy layer of fungi or bacteria that often forms on teeth and in the mouth. Although biofilm is common, it can progress into plaque and gum disease if it’s not regularly brushed ...

Certain bacteria can cause harm, such as Streptococcus Mutans, which is the main culprit behind plaque buildup, gingivitis and cavities. The bacteria in the mouth create a “biofilm” on the teeth – a ...

The most common abstraction layer is the programming interface (API) between an application and the operating system. High-level calls are made to the operating system, which executes the ...
