Streptococcus mutans, Caries and Simulation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dental caries and dental plaque are among the most common diseases worldwide, and are caused by a mixture of microorganisms and food debris. Specific types of acid-producing bacteria, especially Streptococcus mutans, colonize the dental surface and cause damage to the hard tooth structure in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates e.g., sucrose and fructose. This paper reviews the link between S. mutans and caries, as well as different simulation models that are available for studying caries. These models offer a valuable approach to study cariogenicity of different substrates as well as colonization of S. mutans.

Fermented papaya preparation (FPP) is a "natural health product." The high incidence of dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral microbial infection cases among patients with diabetes mellitus continues to prevail. The potential role of FPP against common oral microbiota (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus mitis, and Lactobacillus acidophilus) isolated from the human oral cavity was ...

Background and purpose: Dental caries is a pathological infectious disease. It begins with the formation of dental plaques which is a structurally and functionally organized biofilm. Streptococcus mutans is the most important bacterium in the formation of dental plaque and dental caries. This study aimed at evaluating the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of Quercus infectoria galls agains...
