Question

Pathophysiology of dental caries by organism S.mutans

Accepted Answer

Dextrans present in glucose → colonize host surfaces → dental caries → dextrans also facilitate adherence to fibrin (from pre-existing heart valve damage) → SBENote: Streptococcus sobrinus | Streptococcus lactobacilli  | mutans streptococci species implicated in dental caries
