Also, the bacteria found in the biofilm community are strongly influenced by external environmental factors which may be host mediated. Plaque disclosing aids are categorized in two types based on the application of a disclosing gel or the application of tablet. Plaque disclosing aids usually contain dyes, which turn bright red to indicate plaque buildup.
