[Plaque and chemotherapy concepts of the future].

Abstract

Various hypotheses have been introduced and discussed in the past decade to explain the aetiology of caries and paradontopathies: Non-specific/group-specific/specific plaque hypothesis, exogenic plaque hypothesis, ecological change theory. Principles and strategies of chemotherapy for dental plaque-related ailments are treated on the basis of these theories.
