What kind of microbial community is on tongue anaerobes
dorsum
What kind of microbial community is on smooth highly adapted bacteria
enamel
what kind of microbial community is on gingival anaerobic, nutrient rich
crevice
what kind of microbial community is on dentures candida colonization
Environment selects microbes but microbes also modify the environment
An example of microbes modifying the acid production leads to lower pH which selects acid tolerant bacteria
environment
mucosal surfaces have what oral ecology shedding surfaces (desquamation), lower bacterial biomass, tongue
papillae protect anaerobes
Teeth surfaces have what oral ecology hard, non shedding surface, allow biofilm accumulation
Approximal spaces and gingival crevice have what protected from saliva flow, can become anaerobic, have gingival
oral ecology crevicular fluid

Functions of saliva promotes colonization, removes microbes through clearance
Nutritional salivary components proteins, glycoproteins, urea, amino acids
Antimicrobial non specific salivary components lysozyme, lactoferrin, histatins, cystatins, defensins
Antimicrobial specific salivary components sIgA, IgG, IgM, complement, phagocytes
