Oral Bacterial Biofilm (N/A)

Oral bacterial biofilm is a highly structured community of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix. It forms on surfaces in the mouth, most notably teeth (dental plaque), and plays a crucial role in both oral health and the development of diseases like dental caries and periodontal disease. Targeting the biofilm involves disrupting its structure, inhibiting its formation, or eradicating the resident microbes, while minimizing disruption to the beneficial oral microbiota.
