Abstract EN
The oral ecosystem is a very complex environment where more than 700 different bacterial species can be found.
Most of them are organized in biofilm on dental and mucosal surfaces.
Studying this community is important because a rupture in stability can lead to the preeminence of pathogenic microorganisms, causing dental decay, gingivitis, or periodontitis.
The multitude of species complicates biofilm analysis so its reproduction, collection, and counting are very delicate.
The development of experimental models of dental biofilms was therefore essential and multiple in vitro designs have emerged, each of them especially adapted to observing biofilm formation of specific bacteria within specific environments.
The aim of this review is to analyze oral biofilm models.
