Abstract
Electron microscopy was used to study desquamated epithelial cells in developing and mature dental plaques. Epithelial cells were commonly found in early plaque, and they may affect the adherence of bacteria onto teeth. The cells adsorbed to the enamel seem to undergo morphologic alterations.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
