Abstract

Dental plaque, a biofilm formed by microorganisms on tooth surfaces, poses a significant threat to oral health. Left unchecked, it can lead to various dental diseases such as caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Combatting dental plaque requires understanding its formation, composition, and the intricate microbial interactions within the biofilm. This research article reviews current strategies for preventing and removing dental plaque, including mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches. Furthermore, it explores emerging technologies and innovations aimed at enhancing plaque control and promoting oral health.
