Dental research in microbiology with emphasis on periodontal disease

Abstract

Research in oral microbiology since June 1966 is reviewed. The studies have concentrated on microbial colonization of the teeth and dentogingival regions. Much of the material reported here is discussed with reference to the microbiology and pathogenic potential of dental plaque. Research in oral microbiology since June 1966 is reviewed.
