29
Q

What is the 1st phase of Biofilm Colonization?

A

Pellicle Formation

30
Q

How fast does pellicle form?

A

within minutes

31
Q

What is the pellicle composed of?

A

Salivary Glycoproteins and antibodies

32
Q

What are 2 main functions of the pellicle?

A

protect tooth from acid (good)

help bacteria adhere to tooth (bad)

33
Q

What is the 2nd phase of biofilm colonization?

A

Initial attachment of bacteria to pellicle

34
Q

How fast does the initial attachment of bacteria to the pellicle occur? How do the bacteria attach?

A

few hrs.

by hair like structures called fimbriae

35
Q

What is the 3rd phase of biofilm colonization?

A

Secondary Colonization

36
Q

What is the 4th phase of biofilm colonization?

A

Extracellular Slime layer and Micro-colony formation

37
Q

What is the “job” of the extracellular slime layer?

A

Anchors bacteria to tooth and helps protect the bacteria

38
Q

Microcolony formation grows by what process?

A

cell division (NOT more bacteria attaching)

39
Q

Microcolony formation results in a bacterial _______

A

bloom

40
Q

What is the 5th phase of biofilm colonization?

A

Mature Biofilm

41
Q

Mature Biofilm takes on the shape of a _______ and is attached to the surface by a _______?

A
Mushroom
narrow base (pedunculated)
42
Q

What influences the SHAPE of biofilm colonies?

A

Fluid forces of saliva

43
Q

Fluid forces result in “__________” of biofilm which can infect new teeth?

A

extensions

44
Q

Fluid forces result in cell to cell _____ causing rapid gene _______ and enhancing the ______ and _____ of antimicrobials?

A

collisions
spreading
virulence
resistance

45
Q

What is the function of a fluid channel?

A

Bring nutrients and oxygen to the bacteria

Carry waste products away

46
Q

What is Coaggregation?

A

Cell-to-Cell adherence

47
Q

24

50
Q

Gram _______ bacteria in what forms are considered the intermediate colonizers?

A

positive

rods and cocci

51
Q

T/F Gram - bactera have a GOOD ability to adhere to the tooth?

A

False- they have to adhere to gram + rods and cocci

52
Q

The bacterial layers closest to the soft tissues contain _____ and _______ types of bacteria?

A

spirochetes

flagella

53
