Oral microbes and its environment : a review article / Wan Nordini Hasnor Wan Ismail, Fathilah Abdul Razak and Zubaidah Haji Abdul Rahim

The ecosystem within the oral cavity is unique as it is a result of interactions between components such as the oral fluids and oral microorganisms with structures of the oral soft and hard tissues. The soft structures are represented by the mucous membranes while the hard surface is represented by...

The soft structures are represented by the mucous membranes while the hard surface is represented by the teeth.
