- Abstract
Objective of this review is to give an overview about the role of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus in dental caries pathogenicity. Both of these bacteria known as main agent of dental caries which has been succesfully isolated from patient with caries. We review current data on Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinusbased on open literature search of the topic.The causative agent for caries is called bacteriocaryogenic like mutan streptococci and lactobacilli sp. On reality, Streptoccus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are the most common caries related species isolated from human oral cavity. These bacteria form biofilm formation on tooth surface which is known as dental plaque. This formation help them to avoid immunity response in oral cavity. Moreover, existence both types of bacteria, because they have special characteristic which are not owned by other cariogenic bacteria that is acidophyllic. In general, dental caries remains a significant health problem worlwide, with a prevalence that is not yet decreasing in the developing countries like Indonesia. Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are the bacterial species of mutan streptococci.
