3, tooth shape and with the impact of the Food and viscosity of time.
4, between: the number of feeding, the length of each feeding.
Human oral plaque or saliva of “bacteria”, using carbohydrate fermentation as “food”, the metabolism after the acid, a long “time” and “teeth” engagement, thereby undermining tooth surface, so that teeth have decalcified Caries and erosion.
