Abstract

It is well-recognized that oral biofilms that occur in health and disease have a polymicrobial composition, though these are poorly reflected in the literature, with many studies focussing on simple mono-species biofilm model systems. The utility of polymicrobial biofilm model systems is that they more accurately reflect the oral cavity and allow researchers to ask relevant questions in basic science studies, pharmaceutical screening, and investigating inflammatory interactions. Here we describe the detailed methodology of how to sequentially construct and maintain polymicrobial biofilm models pertinent to caries, periodontal disease, and denture stomatitis.
