Bacterial biofilm enzyme F006 / 9658
Bacterial biofilm enzyme. Molecular model of the enzyme glucansucrase from the bacterium Streptococcus mutans. This enzyme is used to form bacterial biofilms on teeth that cause dental caries

Molar tooth, SEM

X-ray of teeth
False-colour dental x-ray of teeth from the right hand side of a 45 year old male mouth. The red areas are fillings, while the green area in the tooth at bottom left is a patch of caries

Gum disease. Computer artwork of diseased gums and teeth. Gum disease causes inflammation and bleeding of the gums. It is the most common cause of tooth loss

Coloured SEM of a dental drill drilling into tooth
Dental drill on tooth. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a diamond-tipped dental drill (orange) drilling a hole into a tooth (blue)

Decay on molar tooth, SEM
Tooth decay. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a decaying molar tooth. The surface enamel (white) has begun to break down (for example, at lower right)

"Caries: A Silent Threat to Dental Health and Beyond" Polarised LM of a molar tooth showing decay: Explore the intricate world within your teeth, where caries silently wreak havoc on dental health. Rules for The Ivory Castle Board Game: Protect your pearly whites from the treacherous caries as you navigate through this exciting dental-themed board game. Fungoid diseases of plants (colour litho): Just like plants can suffer from fungal infections, our teeth are vulnerable to caries, a common bacterial disease that eats away at their structure. Dental implant, illustration: Discover how modern dentistry offers solutions to combat tooth loss caused by severe caries with durable dental implants. Tooth decay, artwork F006 / 2310: Witness the destructive power of untreated caries as it gradually erodes tooth enamel and leads to painful cavities. Bacterial biofilm enzyme F006 / 9658: Dive into the microscopic world of oral bacteria and learn about their role in forming harmful biofilms that contribute to caries development. Artwork: Uncover the artistic representation of decaying teeth caused by neglected oral hygiene practices and untreated caries. Light-reactive dental filling, artwork: Embrace innovative technology with light-reactive fillings that not only restore damaged teeth but also prevent further progression of caries. Root canal dental treatment, artwork: Delve into the realm of root canal therapy - an essential procedure used to salvage severely infected or damaged teeth affected by advanced stages of caries. Molar tooth SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope): Marvel at high-resolution images capturing every minute detail within a molar tooth affected by deep-rooted carious lesions under an electron microscope's lens. X-ray of teeth: Peer beneath the surface with X-ray imaging techniques revealing hidden signs of early-stage or advanced caries, guiding dental professionals in their diagnosis and treatment.
