What is the plate dentobacteriana?

The plate dentobacteriana is one sediment soft, bacterial, adherent, which is accumulated in the teeth.

This plate is invisible and is formed with the appearance of one layer of bacteria in the tooth and gums when not have one good hygiene mouth. This plate is developed thanks to the attachment and multiplication of the bacteria that produce acid and the substances toxic, together with traces food.

How can we see the PDB in our teeth?

They chew the tablets and they will paint over the areas where there plate dentobacteriana. With a good brushing, the tablets only paint very palely. The coloration accentuated is deposited only in certain places: in the crowns teeth, in the part located near the gums, in the spaces interdental at the edge gingival and in all those areas in the brushing is difficult.

For what the formed plate dentobacteriana?

The plate dentobacteriana progresses more rapidly with food soft and rich in sugars. For that, it is advisable to avoid the sweets between meals. The plate tooth is the cause main of caries and the disease of the gums.

The brushing of the teeth and gums properly, is the best usable procedure for the removal of plaque dentobacteriana. The toothbrushes must be of adequate size, shape and texture, manipulable, easy to wash, of constant and durable composition.

What is tartar?

The dent bacterial plaque is mineralized and tartar, which is a salt, calcium and phosphorus deposit that adheres to the dental surface, is formed due to lack of adequate hygiene. Once formed, it cannot be removed with the toothbrush, as it is very hard and is strongly attached to the tooth. As it is deposited more and more, it will be necessary for your dentist to remove it after a few months.

Scale is what causes and maintains gingival inflammation (gums), responsible for a large part of the development of gingivitis and periodontitis.

Where does tartar most easily form in the mouth?

The tartar is located in the groove formed by the gingiva and the tooth; Increases its accumulation until it reaches the dental surface, and can cause retraction of the gingiva. Generally, more tartar builds up in the teeth that are near the outlet of the ducts of the salivary glands. The size and consistency of these deposits depend on their length of stay; therefore, they are harder the older they are and the more organic matter they possess. When the tartar is soft, its color is yellowish, while the hard formations acquire a brown or blackish color. Dent bacterial plaque progresses faster with soft foods and sugar-rich foods. That is why it is advisable to avoid sweets between meals.

What is gingivitis?

In addition to bacterial plaque, there are other local and systemic factors that modify the host’s response to bacterial invasion, facilitating, or conversely, delaying the infectious process; For example smoking, diabetes mellitus, neutrophil deficits etc.

The disease, in its aggressive form (aggressive periodontitis), may appear at an early age, evolving rapidly, causing loss of dental pieces in young people.

Collateral consequences of periodontal disease

It has been observed that the bacteria present in this type of infections migrate from the mouth to the bloodstream, causing direct damage to the endothelium (main component of the arterial wall) with the consequent formation of atheroma’s (thickening of the arterial wall Due to cholesterol deposition) and thrombi. Atherosclerotic biopsies have also been performed in deceased patients, and periodontal bacteria, pathogens characteristic of the gums, have been found.
