Abstract

The mouth contains wide variety of oral bacteria. The tooth surfaces are unique in that they are the only body part not subject to metabolic turnover. Once formed, the teeth are, under the correct conditions, essentially indestructible, as witnessed by their importance in fossils records and forensic medicines. Yet in living individuals, the integrity of the teeth is assaulted constantly by a microbial challenge so great that dental infections rank as the most universal affliction of humankind. The discomfort causes by these infections and their enormous cost (dental infections rank third in medical costs, behind heart and cancer, in the United States) gives dental diseases prominence despite their non-life-threating nature. Dental decay in the late 20th century is a controllable infection and should be preventable in many individuals. Almost 50% of young children are caries-free, and the level of Edentia among individuals over 65, has dropped from 50% to about 20%.[1] The quantification of its constituents is a current method to identify specific biomarkers with reasonable sensitivity for several biological events.[2]
