New
theory of bacteria
Bacteria live in the environment as spores. The reason being
that bacteria are basically lazy and in a spore form, they can
exist for a long period of time, needing very little food. This
is particularly true when living in a hostile environment as
human blood. They are harmless in this form of life. When their
life becomes threatened, the bacteria go into a defense mode
where they develop a cell wall, proliferate and grow to full
grown bacteria. It is in this stage of development that the
bacteria may become pathogens. Sometimes they accidentally
become pathogens as may be the case of plaque forming bacteria.
The theory is based on recent discoveries of the last decade and
scientific principles of energy.

Biotechnology
Welcome
to Probiodent, the alternative viewpoint to conventional
dentistry. The website will provide information that is
backed by solid scientific data and based on science and
natural remedies. There can be no true cure to health
problems if the cause is not known. |

 Dental
Plaque
Dental
plaque and some form of periodontal disease has
grown to epidemic proportions during the last
forty years. Could it be that dentists have been
attacking the disease with the wrong remedies.
Scaling, heat sterilization, strong
antibacterial toothpaste, strong antiseptic
mouthwashes, strong breath deodorizers, hydrogen
peroxide and medicines that kill bacteria have
not eliminated plaque and periodontal disease.
Maybe, the time has come to use a different
philosophy in treating plaque. Recent
discoveries have unearthed new information about
a different organism that may be responsible for
plaque. The organism is resistant to heat, most
radiations, most antibiotics, most toxic
chemicals, and most if not all antibacterial
agents. The organism lives in blood and other
body fluids. The organism resists detection from
the body's immune system. The organism is
virtually indestructible. Most if not all of the
current oral hygiene products actually initiate
the organism to produce plaque. The organism has
been cultured in vitro to produce plaque. The
same type of plaque that is found attached to
the teeth. The organism is classified as an
ultramicrobacteria. Finally, plaque and
periodontal may have a solution. Click bold

 Limestone
bacteria
Plaque
bacteria may come from limestone and calcareous
rock. The bacteria are carried to the water
system by rain. The bacteria are harmless when
introduced into the body. They become pathogens
only by accident. Nature has given living
organisms the physical properties to survive.
Some species can camoflauge themselves in their
environment. Some species produce lethal toxins
to protect themselves. Other species, such as
clams and foraminifera, form shells to protect
themselves. The same is true of the plaque
bacteria. Their shell is what we may call
plaque. Click bold letters Limestone bacteria to

 Periodontal
disease??
The
key symptom of periodontal disease is
destruction of fibrous connective tissue that
attaches the gums to bone and bone to teeth.
Plaque bacteria have been photographed
destroying fibrous connective tissue by killing
fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells that repair
and regenerate fibrous connective tissue.
Fibrous connective tissue is also found in the
tendons and arteries of the body. The diseases
that have destruction of fibrous connective
tissue may be the result of plaque bacteria.
Plaque bacteria have been linked to causing
kidney stones and may be the link to dental
plaque and periodontal disease. Perhaps the
reason that the plaque bacteria have not been
identified as the culprit of dental plaque is
that their discovery occurred only in the last
decade. Dental research have not been looking
for this unique kind of microorganism. To
