Abstract
Dental caries are multi bacterial diseases depending on the interaction between enamel, saliva, dental plaque and consumed carbohydrates. In the process of enamel demineralisation, Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus bacteria were shown to play a mayor role (1). This process can take place only when the destruction of the structure of minerals occurred (2, 3).
