One of the most important problems of cell adhesion is dental plaque, which is formed when bacteria such as streptococcus mutans and streptococcus sanguis adhere to tooth surfaces, causing decay (caries) and gum disease (gingivitis). Dental plaque can be removed by brushing or prevented by chemical additives, such as chlorhexidine, which kill the bacteria. Study of dental plaque is normally done on hydroxy apatite which is the main component of dental enamel. 

Purified human and monkey glycoproteins containing terminal neuraminic acid residues agglutinate with Streptococcus sanguis and S. mutans cells. Removal of the sialic acid residues from these glycoproteins results in the loss of agglutination of S. sanguis but not S. mutans. 

The enamel is a unique non-shedding hard surface which acquires its own pioneering organisms. For example, in contrast with Streptococcus salivarius which is mainly found in the saliva and on the soft tissues. Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguis only appear when the teeth erupt. Differences also occur in the distribution of Actinomyces. A. naeslundii can be...
