The research progress of anti⁃caries materials

Abstract

Dental caries is a common oral infectious disease in humans. It is seriously harmful to human 􀆳s health. Dental caries is closely related to the cariogenic bacteria. Now, there are many studies on the pathogenic mechanism of the cariogenic bacteria. There are many different methods to prevent dental caries. In this paper, we mainly reviewed the inhibitory effect and mechanism of anti⁃caries materials on cariogenic bacteria.
