Dental caries, a prevalent oral infectious disease, is intricately linked to the biofilm formation
on the tooth surfaces by oral microbes. Among these, Streptococcus mutans plays a central …

Aim Dental biofilms are complex communities composed largely of harmless bacteria.
Certain pathogenic species including Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) can become …

Dental caries is a costly and prevalent disease characterized by the demineralization of the
tooth's enamel. Disease outcome is influenced by host factors, dietary intake, cariogenic …

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent and costly biofilm‐dependent oral infectious
diseases affecting most of the world's population. Streptococcus mutans, a major …

Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to
contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms …

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent and costly biofilm-associated infectious diseases
affecting most of the world's population. In particular, dental caries is driven by dysbiosis of …

Background Dental caries results from long-term acid production when sugar is metabolized
by a bacterial biofilm, resulting in a loss of calcium and phosphate from the enamel …

Background Dental caries is a chronic, multifactorial and biofilm-mediated oral bacterial
infection affecting almost every age group and every geographical region. Streptococcus …

Streptococcus mutans has been implicated as the major acid-producing (cariogenic)
bacterium. Dietary sugars and other factors may cause an imbalance of oral microflora that …

Background Microbial cell-cell interactions in the oral flora are believed to play an integral
role in the development of dental plaque and ultimately, its pathogenicity. The effects of …
