Figure 2. Relationship between the reactivities of inorganic defense factors of the oral cavity and maturation of plaque biofilms. The penetrability of the hypohalites and their derivatives is inversely related to their reactivities and the extent of maturation of the biofilm. See the text for a discussion of the possibility that the defensive factors could be generated within biofilms.
