The evaluated outcomes were characterized by the presence of mucosal and
bacterial plaque changes in the oral cavity, through the MPS index.
Elastomeric ligatures have been found to form
bacterial plaque on their surface and accumulate greater number of microorganisms on the tooth surface (51).
Gingivitis in pregnancy is caused by
bacterial plaque, like in non-pregnant individuals.
The MMP9/NGAL complex was revealed in systemic diseases and in GCF of patients with a poor control of the
bacterial plaque with periodontal disease [12] but not during orthodontic treatment.
The present study is characterized as a quantitative research, with explanatory and descriptive character, whereby the SOHI evaluation was performed according to Greene and Vermillion (1964), i.e., a few moments before applying the mouth rinse with NaF at 0.2% in children of a primary school in the city of Nova Aurora, Parana State, during the 2007 school year, by means of disclosing
bacterial plaque, correlating it to the protocol and the efficacy of the mouth rinse application.
Regarding
bacterial plaque index and yeast isolates, the current study found that of 80 patients with yeasts, 61 (76.3%) presented inadequate oral hygiene, but these data did not show significant differences (Table 2).
The proportion of boys and girls having dental caries was not significant (p=0.171), whereas the proportions were found to be different between boys and girls for
bacterial plaque, gingivitis, malocclusion, developmental anomalies and trauma.
Your dentist will use a probe to measure the "cuff" of gum around your teeth and probably give them a thorough clean to remove the
bacterial plaque that causes the gums to become inflamed and can erode the "footings" of the tooth.
Periodontal disease often evolves from untreated gingivitis, which causes the gums to redden, swell, and bleed more easily
Bacterial plaque on the surface of the teeth spreads and grows below the gum line (dentistry speaks of a subgingival biofilm), adding to progressive gram-negative anaerobic infection of the mouth and inflammatory responses that ultimately lead to the destruction of tissue and bone.
"In addition to possible links between heart disease and gum disease found in the Scottish Health Survey, other studies appear to confirm a link between gum disease and diabetes, where patients with type 2 diabetes and inflammation in the mouth caused by
bacterial plaque had more difficulty controlling their blood sugar levels."
