Dental plaque: biological significance of a biofilm and community life‐style

Journal Of Clinical Periodontology · 2005 · Vol. 32(s6) · pp. 7–15

Abstract

Dental plaque displays properties that are typical of biofilms and microbial communities in general, a clinical consequence of which is a reduced susceptibility to antimicrobial agents as well as pathogenic synergism.
