Why it matters for dental

Researchers present a quantitative framework for modeling oral pH dynamics, giving clinicians and researchers a structured method to track acid-base shifts in dental plaque.

Key points

  1. 01

    Journal of Dental Research publishes a new quantitative framework for characterizing oral pH dynamics.

  2. 02

    Framework links acidogenic and aciduric microorganisms in dental plaque to pH drops that drive enamel and dentin dissolution below critical pH.

  3. 03

    Article appears ahead of print in the Journal of Dental Research.
