Dental plaque is a microbial community growing on the tooth surface as a biofilm. An ecological imbalance of this ecosystem leads to the predominance of cariogenic species and an increased caries development risk.1-4 Caries prevention and treatment are based on the elimination of risk factors for the disease.[ … ]
