The steps of plaque formation on teeth are:
1) Pellicle, biofilm, materia alba, plaque
2) Biofilm, pellicle, plaque, materia alba
3) Pellicle, plaque, biofilm, materia alba
4) Materia alba, plaque, biofilm, pellicle
The formation of dental plaque begins with the deposition of a pellicle, a thin film of proteins and salivary components on the tooth surface. This pellicle provides a substrate for bacterial adhesion, leading to the development of a biofilm. As the biofilm matures, it can form a white, soft, and easily removable substance known as materia alba. If not removed, the biofilm can become mineralized and transform into the dense and firm structure recognized as dental plaque, which can contribute to the onset of gum disease and tooth decay.
Firm contact between approximating teeth is important because it
1) locates the marginal ridges of each tooth.
2) keeps the teeth from having any movement during function.
3) insures proper cusp form and increases masticatory efficiency.
4) stabilizes the dental arches and gives protection to the gingival papillae.
Firm contact between teeth helps maintain the stability of the dental arches, preventing unwanted movement during function. This contact also protects the gingival papillae by ensuring that the teeth are properly aligned and that the forces of mastication are distributed evenly, reducing the risk of periodontal issues.
