Progress toward understanding the contribution of alkali generation in dental biofilms to inhibition of dental caries

Alkali production by oral bacteria is believed to have a major impact on oral microbial ecology and to be inibitory to the initiation and progression of dental caries. A substantial body of evidence is beginning to accumulate that indicates the modulation of the alkalinogenic potential of dental bio...
