- - - - Cause demineralization
      - Increase the risk of caries
  - - - Fermentable sugars
      - Balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria
      - Individual's immune system and genetic factors
      - Saliva flow rate, oral hygiene & presence of other oral pathogens.
- - - - controlling bacterial growth
      - remineralizing teeth
      - neutralizing acids produced by bacteria
      - Changes
        
        disrupt balance, leading to alterations
  - - - Reduced saliva flow, known as hyposalivation : oral environment more acidic.
      - Dry mouth (xerostomia) : an imbalance, increased plaque accumulation, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
- - - - Plaque Formation
      - Acid Production
      - Demineralization
      - Biofilm Persistence
      - Caries Formation
