  2. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

    Dental caries result when the demineralization rate is faster than the remineralization, producing net mineral loss, which occurs when there is an ecologic shift within the dental biofilm from a balanced population of microorganisms to a population that produces acids and can survive in an acid environment.

  3. Periodontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontology

    A dental biofilm is a community of microorganisms attached to a hard, non-shedding surface. In the oral cavity, hard non-shedding surfaces include teeth, dental restorative materials and fixed or removable dental appliance such dentures. [15] It is this adherence to non-shedding surfaces that allows bacteria in a dental biofilm to have unique ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_disease

    Removal of microbial plaque and calculus is necessary to establish periodontal health. The first step in the treatment of periodontitis involves nonsurgical cleaning below the gum line with a procedure called "root surface instrumentation" or "RSI", this causes a mechanical disturbance to the bacterial biofilm below the gumline.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

    Near-infrared lasers, such as the Er,CR:YSGG laser, have been proposed as an effective adjunct for calculus removal as the emission wavelength is highly absorbed by water, a large component of calculus deposits. [45] An optimal output power setting of 1.0-W with the near-infrared Er,Cr:YSGG laser has been shown to be effective for root scaling ...

  6. Dental plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_plaque

    Dental plaque is a biofilm that attaches to tooth surfaces, restorations and prosthetic appliances (including dentures and bridges) if left undisturbed.Understanding the formation, composition and characteristics of plaque helps in its control. [6]

  7. Teeth cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth_cleaning

    In addition to brushing, cleaning between teeth may help to prevent build-up of plaque bacteria on the teeth. This may be done with dental floss or interdental brushes.. 80% of cavities occur in the grooves, or pits and fissures, of the chewing surfaces of the teeth, [4] however, there is no evidence currently showing that normal at-home flossing reduces the risk of cavities in these areas.
