Model to in vitro study mono-specie and multi-specia oral biofilms in real time - Banco de Patentes

Oral biofilms can vary in composition and cause the development of oral diseases such as caries, periodontitis or halitosis. This new in vitro model allows, quickly and without resorting to sophisticated equipment, to study their formation without practically manipulating the sample. The information, provided in the nearest conditions in vivo and in real time, can help to establish both the effectiveness of the treatment and predict the establishment of the oral disease, or even as proof of concept of new treatments oriented towards a personalized therapy.
