Role Of CHOS In Caries Flashcards
Acts as a bonding matrix to which bacteria can adhere to start the formation of dental plaque.
Dental pellicle
Formación de placa =
Película adquirida + recubrimiento de glicoproteinas + comienzo de la colonización bacteriana
____ can be readily metabolized and fermented by many bacteria involved in dental biofilm formation,
Sugars
Bacteria generate ____ acid when metabolizing sugar
Which bacterias
Lactic acid
S. Mútanos and Lactobacillus
Imbalance of microorganism, they become more virulent
Dysbiosis
____ and _____ induce faster and more pronounced pH drop in the dental plaque than starch, and
are more cariogenic.
Monosaccharides
Glucose and fructose
Enzyme that cut sucrose bond (glucose+fructose)
Glucosyltransferase
Bacteria use ___ from sucrose for energy
Fructose
Bacteria use ___ from sucrose to add a growing chain
Glucose
Growing chain of glucose is called
Glucan
___ allow the bacteria to attach firmly to the surface
of the tooth, enhancing their accumulation in the
plaque
Glucans
Plaque make the environment facultative for ____ bacterias
Anaerobic
How does the process of demineralization starts?
the environment becomes that ACID, calcium and phosphate in the enamel start to dissolve into the fluid filled diffusion channels between the enamel crystal
