Oral flora bacteria on the tooth surface

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these choices are correct. The oral flora bacteria on the tooth surface develop a biofilm, use fimbriae and slime layers to adhere, include streptococci that metabolize sucrose, produce sticky glucans, and form plaque, and include lactobacilli and streptococci that ferment carbohydrates and produce acids that cause caries. The combination of these factors contributes to the formation of dental plaque and the development of dental caries.
