Novel anti-microbial therapies for dental plaque-related diseases
TLDR
The aim of this review is to consider the current status as regards novel treatment approaches for control of dental plaque-related diseases, including replacement therapy by which a resident pathogen is replaced with a non-pathogenic bacteriocin-producing variant.Citations

The Use of Nanoparticles to Control Oral Biofilm Formation
TL;DR: The potential of nanoparticles to control the formation of biofilms within the oral cavity, as a function of their biocidal, anti-adhesive, and delivery capabilities, is now coming under close scrutiny as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dental plaque biofilms: communities, conflict and control.
TL;DR: Application of novel imaging and molecular techniques has radically altered the understanding of the biology of multi-species biofilms, and key developments that are pertinent to the control of dental plaque are highlighted in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dental biofilm: ecological interactions in health and disease.
Philip Marsh,Egija Zaura +1 more
TL;DR: The networks of multiple synergistic and antagonistic interactions generate microbial inter-dependencies and give biofilms a resilience to minor environmental perturbations, and this contributes to oral health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic effect between clove oil and its major compounds and antibiotics against oral bacteria
TL;DR: The results suggest that the clove oil and eugenol could be employed as a natural antibacterial agent against cariogenic and periodontopathogenic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural products in caries research: current (limited) knowledge, challenges and future perspective.
TL;DR: This review focuses on gaps in the current knowledge and presents a model for investigating the use of natural products in anticaries chemotherapy, which could be useful for the development of alternative or adjunctive anticaries therapies.

The occurrence of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Bacteroides gingivalis and Bacteroides intermedius in destructive periodontal disease in adults
TL;DR: The main conclusion is that A. actinomycetemcomitans, B. gingivalis and B. intermedius are closely related to disease-active periodontitis, and more closely than to periodontal pocket depth.

Dental plaque formation
Burton Rosan,Richard J. Lamont +1 more
TL;DR: Dental plaque is a complex biofilm that accumulates on the hard tissues (teeth) in the oral cavity and contributes to diseases such as caries and periodontal disease.
