Introduction
•Dental caries and periodontal diseases are two of the most widespread of all human maladies, resulting from the accumulation of many different species of bacteria
•Dental plaque is a naturally acquired, multi-species biofilm

Dental Plaque: Microbial Biofilm
•Dental plaque is a multi-species biofilm–Some bacterial species may be of greater
relevance in the development of caries and periodontal diseases
•Historical aspect: Most natural surfaces have their own coating of microoganisms or biofilm

Historical Aspect
•One of the first known examples of life is mineralized bacteria or algae attached to rocks from the Precambrian Era (approximately 3800 million years ago)
•Calculus is a hard calcified deposit of plaque that has become mineralized

Dental Plaque: Biofilm
•Not all microorganisms within the biofilm population react uniformly to antimicrobial treatment at a given time
•It is important to include mechanical oral hygiene practices in addition to using antimicrobial therapy to disturb the attached biofilm

Bacterial Colonization of the Mouth
•Bacteria are acquired from:–Atmosphere–Food–Human contact–Contact from animals, such as pets
•Bacteria subsequently form colonies between saliva and oral soft and hard tissues

Tooth Eruption
•Prior to eruption the external surface of tooth enamel is lined by remnants of the enamel-forming organ
•These tissue remnants are the reduced enamel epithelium and the basal lamina
•This subsurface organic material is called subsurface pellicle

Tooth Eruption (Continued)
•An erupted tooth immediately becomes covered by a thin, microscopic coating of saliva materials
•It is acquired after tooth eruption and is exogenous in nature
•Referred to as acquired pellicle

The Acquired Pellicle
•Acellular
•Consists primarily of glycoproteins derived from saliva
•Occupies million of microscopic voids in the erupted tooth caused by chemical and mechanical interactions of the tooth surface with the oral environment
•If the pellicle is displaced by a prophylaxis it begins to reform immediately

The Acquired Pellicle (Continued)
•Also forms on dental restorations
•Interestingly, there is competition for binding sites on the pellicles, not only by receptors on bacteria but also from host proteins, including immunoglobulins

Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Adhesion
•The initial bacterial attachment to the acquired pellicile is thought to involve physicochemical interactions between molecules or portions of molecules
•Bacteria have external cell-surface proteins termed adhesions

FIGURE 2–6
This diagram illustrates some of the possible molecular mechanisms that mediate attachment of bacteria to teeth during dental plaque formation. A. A side chain of a phenylalanine component of a bacterial protein interacts via hydrophobic bonding with a side chain of a leucine component of a salivary glycoprotein in
the acquired pellicle. B. The negatively charged carboxyl group of a bacterial protein is attracted to a positively charged calcium ion (i.e., electrostatic attraction), which in turn is attracted to a negatively charged phosphate group of a salivary phosphoprotein in the acquired pellicle. C. The host’s dietary
sucrose is converted by the bacterial enzyme, glucosyltransferase, to the extracellular polysaccharide, glucan, which has many hydrophobic groups and can interact with amino acid side-chain groups, such as serine, tyrosine, and threonine. D. The fimbrial surface appendage extends from the bacterial cell to
permit the terminal adhesin portion to bind to a sugar component of a salivary glycoprotein in the acquired pellicle.

Dental Plaque Matrix
•Dental plaque consists of different species of bacteria that are not uniformly distributed
•The bacterial cells in the biofilm are surrounded by an intercellular plaque matrix which is composed of both organic and inorganic components

Dental Plaque Metabolism
•A source of energy is required for metabolism to occur
•Once exposed to sucrose, microorganisms produce:
–Acid
–Intracellular polysaccharides
–Extracellular polysaccharides

Dental Calculus
•The term calculus is derived from the Latin word meaning pebble or stone
•Calculus itself is not harmful and cannot be removed by brushing or flossing
•It needs to be removed because its presence makes routine oral hygiene difficult
•May be affected by behavioral factors and systemic conditions

Dental Calculus (Continued)
•The two types of calculus may differ in color:–Supragingival calculus usually appears as a
yellow to white mass with a chalky consistency–Subgingical calculus appears gray to black in
color and has a flint-like consistency
