Across
- 7. Replacement of lost enamel minerals via ionic uptake
- 8. Microbial biofilm adherent to tooth surfaces
- 9. Agent that reduces or eliminates oral microorganisms
- 10. Acidogenic and aciduric bacteria associated with early carious lesions
- 13. Seromucous exocrine secretion involved in buffering
- 14. Acellular film formed from salivary glycoproteins on enamel shortly after cleaning
Down
- 1. Practices and conditions that maintain oral health
- 2. Anaerobic catabolism of dietary carbohydrates by oral bacteria
- 3. Microbial community embedded in extracellular polymeric matrix
- 4. Inflammatory destruction of periodontal tissues and bone
- 5. Calcified dental plaque composed of inorganic salts
- 6. Loss of mineral ions from tooth structure due to acidic environment
