    Natural microflora in the oral cavity is established during childhood and changes throughout life due to environmental and behavioral factors. While humans are made up of over 1014 cells, around 90% belong to microorganisms that comprise the resident microflora. Microorganisms in the mouth were first described in 1683 and inhabit both non-tooth areas like the oral mucosa, tongue, and saliva as well as tooth surfaces like the subgingival area, root surfaces, pits and fissures, and smooth surfaces.

    • Natural microflora in the oral cavity become established during childhood and then change throughout

    the life under the influence of various environmental and behavioural factors.

    •It has been estimated that the human body is made up of over 1014 cells of which only around 10% are
    mammalian. The remainder are the micro-organisms that comprise the resident micro flora of the host.

    • Microorganisms in mouth were first described by Anton von Leeuwenhoek in 1683.

    ORAL HABITATS
    The major oral habitats are:-

    •NON TOOTH HABITATS

    - Oral mucosa (lips Cheeks, palate)

    - Dorsum of tongue

    - Saliva and tonsillar areas

    - Appliances

    • TOOTH HABITATS

    - Sub gingival areas

    - Root surfaces

    - Pits and fissures

    - Smooth surfaces
