Synopsis:

This book focuses on the microbiology and immunology of the oral cavity. The basic biology of the oral ecosystem is described, as are the types of organisms found in this habitat and modern experimental approaches to their study. The means by which microorganisms can cause diseases such as caries or gum disease are discussed. The host immune responses to its oral community are documented along with means for dentists to achieve sterilization, disinfection, and asepsis. The purpose is to provide a cohesive description of the ecology, virulence, molecular biology, immunogenicity of oral bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and their interface with host sells and secretions.
