Innovative Dental Biofilm Models Emphasize pH's Role in S. mutans Colonization Prediction

Posted: December 11, 2024
The article discusses the importance of pH in predicting the colonization of Streptococcus mutans in dental biofilms. Mathematical models were developed to simulate the transition to a cariogenic microbial biofilm, emphasizing the aciduric property of S. mutans in caries development. The study highlights the significance of combining in vitro and in silico studies to understand dental biofilm dynamics and factors influencing them, demonstrating the utility of individual-based models in dental research.
