Abstract
The Human body contains approximately ten times more microbial cells than mammalian cells. A large number of microbes are non-harmful and constitutes the normal microbial flora within the human body. The digestive tract and the skin are the most microbial rich sites containing approximately 1000 species of bacteria. The oral cavity is another site harbouring a diverse and abundant microbial community. Microorganisms in the mouth accumulate on both the hard and soft oral tissues and are frequently organised as microbial biofilm. This biofilm is usually harmless but may be the source of infection sometimes. This review article focuses on oral biofilm formation and its associated diseases.
