PeriodonticsIn the early stages of dental plaque formation, particularly within the first
few days, the predominant microorganisms are typically cocci, especially Streptococcus species.
These bacteria are among the first to colonize the tooth surface after a
cleaning, forming a biofilm.
Lactobacilli are more commonly associated with mature
plaque and caries development, as they thrive in acidic environments.
Fusiform bacilli and vibrios are more
commonly found in later stages of plaque development or in specific
conditions, such as periodontal disease.
Thus, in a two-day-old dental plaque, the majority of microorganisms will
indeed be cocci
