Study Notes
Understanding the Role of Plaque and Biofilm in Dental Health
- The presence of carious lesions or periodontal issues varies from patient to patient, and both need to be addressed.
- Supra and subgingival environments differ in terms of nutrient sources, oxygen levels, and metabolic environments, influencing ecological patterns.
- The ecological plaque hypothesis and keystone pathogen hypothesis emphasize the role of environmental changes in dental health.
- Local environmental factors play a crucial role in periodontal disease, in addition to systemic considerations.
- Supra and subgingival plaque and calculus have distinct characteristics and contribute differently to disease development.
- The oxygen levels above and below the sulcus affect the presence of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, influencing disease development.
- Dental plaque or biofilm is defined as a complex microbial community embedded in a polymer matrix, structurally and functionally organized.
- Bacteria cause disease through a process involving acquisition, adhesion, retention, survival, prosperity, avoidance or elimination, multiplication, and elaboration of virulence factors.
- Biofilms form on surfaces through early colonizers, gram-positive cocci, and specific physicochemical variables.
- Specific molecular mechanisms mediate adhesion, leading to coaggregation of genetically distinct bacteria in mixed species biofilms.
- Brushing disrupts biofilm formation by breaking the community, emphasizing the importance of mechanical force in oral hygiene.
- The need for maintaining good oral hygiene to disrupt biofilm formation and prevent disease development is crucial.
