Biochemistry Formation of Dental Plaque
  1. Stage 1
    1. Glucoproteins attach to tooth
      1. Sticky Pellicle forms
        1. Forms Matrix
          1. Saliva
            1. More Bacteria
              1. Sends chemical messages
              2. contains Bicarbonate to balance pH
              3. Uses glucose, broken down sucrose by bacteria
                1. Produces Glucans
            2. Cell free/Organic
          2. Stage 2
            1. Gram +ive Strep cocci (Mutans)
              1. Acid tollerating
                1. Lower pH
            2. Stage3
              1. Crevicular fluid
                1. Protein breakdown
                  1. More bacteria join forming dental biofilm
                    1. Sulpher releasing
                    2. Fluid rich in WBC and nutrients
                      1. Collegan breakdown.
                      2. Favours Gram -ive and Bacilli
                        1. Eccanella bacteria
                          1. Breaks down Lysine
                            1. Cells need Lysine, breaksdown into Crevicular fluid
