Given that the inter microbial communication had a huge role to play in the adherence, sustenance and multiplication of the species and also in bestowing certain characteristics such as anti-septic and anti- microbial resistance and also better ability to cope with the environmental stress due to inter bacterial synergism as well as altered gene expression,dental plaque can now be assigned a new status of that of a BIOFILM.The acceptance of plaque as a biofilm, enables us to understand the etiopathogenesis and formulate newer strategies to combat the periodontal disease. Thus the emerging concept has pushed the scientific community to reconsider the entire periodontal...
