Abstract
The importance of the oral microorganisms to the process of dental caries was first recognized by Miller (1889) at the end of the last century. In his chemico-parasitic theory, he stated that carbohydrate food particles were decomposed to organic acids by bacteria, which resulted in the decalcification of the enamel surface of the tooth. Despite this early recognition that the mouth carried an indigenous microflora, it is only in the last 18 years that any interest has been shown in oral microbial ecology. Earlier studies had concentrated on the role of specific acidogenic bacteria in dental caries and often neglected the possibility of the influence of microbial interactions on this and other oral diseases, such as periodontal disease. One of the earlier workers to recognize such interactions was MacDonald in his studies of the pathogenicity of oral organisms in oral infections. He and his co-workers, in a variety of studies on mixed anaerobic infections (MacDonald et al., 1954, 1960, 1963), employed combinations of pure cultures of oral anaerobic organisms to demonstrate that minimum synergistic groupings were capable of producing pathogenic lesions in guinea pigs.
