The plaque biofilm is the cause of the two most common oral diseases- caries and periodontal disease. Understanding the biology of the biofilm and how it initiates disease is critical to managing this disease-causing entity effectively.
This session will focus on the plaque biofilm and the inflammation it triggers in the local soft tissue. The biology of the plaque biofilm will be reviewed in detail, as will the inflammatory response it stimulates. The session will also review OTC and Rx chemotherapeutic agents that can be employed to control the plaque biofilm
Learning outcomes:
Understand the biology of the plaque biofilm
Understand the inflammatory response triggered by the plaque biofilm in the surrounding soft tissue
Understand the various OTC and Rx chemotherapeutic products that can be used to help manage the plaque biofilm
