1.Normal flora in human oral cavity
2.Several dental diseases caused by
bacteria
3.What can we do to prevent dental
disease
 The human mouth is home to more than 500
species of bacteria.
 Oral bacteria include streptococci,
lactobacilli, staphylococci and
corynebacteria(棒状杆菌), with a great
number of anaerobes, especially
bacteroides(类杆菌).
Normal flora changes with age
 At birth the oral
cavity is sterile
 It rapidly becomes
colonized from the
environment
 Streptococcus salivarius is dominant and
may make up 98% of the total oral flora until
the appearance of the teeth (6 - 9 months in
humans)
 The eruption of the teeth during the first year
leads to colonization by S. mutans(变形链
球菌) and S. sanguis ,they will persist as
long as teeth remain
 Other strains of streptococci adhere strongly
to the gums(牙龈) and cheeks but not to
the teeth
 The creation of the gingival crevice(齿龈裂
缝) area increases the habitat for the
variety of anaerobic species found
 Bacteroides and
spirochetes
colonize around
puberty
Functions of normal flora
 occupy available colonization sites
 contribute to host nutrition
 contribute to immunity
 exert microbial antagonism against
heterogenous species
 Since some of these bacteria are
parasites or opportunistic pathogens, if
they invade tissues not normally
accessible to them, characteristic
diseases result

 Dental Plaque (牙菌斑)
 Dental Caries (龋齿)
 Periodontal Disease (牙周病)
Dental Plaque
 material adhering to the teeth, consists of
bacterial cells (60-70% the volume of the
plaque), salivary polymers, and bacterial
extracellular products
 Streptococcus sanguis and Streptococcus
mutans
Mechanism
a weak attachment of the streptococcal cells to
salivary glycoproteins →a pellicle on the surface
of the teeth → a stronger attachment →
( glycosyl transferase, an enzyme on the cell
surface of Streptococcus mutans, is apparently
involved in initial attachment of the bacterial cells
to the tooth surface and ) → conversion of
Sucrose (蔗糖)to dextran(右旋糖酐) and
levan(左旋糖酐) polymers → form the
extracellular matrix of plaque
back
Dental Caries
 the destruction of the enamel(釉质),
dentin(牙质)or cementum(牙骨质)
of teeth due to bacterial activities
 Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacilli,
Actinomyces(放线菌), and various
proteolytic bacteria
Physiological and Biochemical
Properties of Streptococcus mutans
 a regular component of the normal oral flora of
humans
 contains the enzyme glycosyl transferase
 produces lactic acid, produces more lactic acid
and is more acid-tolerant than most other
streptococci
 stores polysaccharides made from dietary sugars,
can be utilized as reserve carbon and energy
sources for production of lactic acid
back
Periodontal Disease
 bacterial infections that affect the supporting
structures of the teeth (gingiva, cementum(
牙骨质), periodontal membrane and
alveolar bone)
 Actinomyces, streptococci, spirochetes and
Bacteroides
 The mechanisms of tissue
destruction in periodontal disease
are not clearly defined but
hydrolytic enzymes, endotoxins,
and other toxic bacterial
metabolites seem to be involved

How to prevent dental diseases
 Brush your teeth two times
everyday, after arousing and
before sleeping
 Use toothpastes which
contains fluoride
 Use dental floss to clean
your teeth-gaps everyday
