Cover image: Bacterial plaque.

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing human tooth accumulation of bacterial plaque (smooth areas) and calcified tartar (rough areas) on enamel surface. Plaque is a sticky, colourless film of bacteria that forms on teeth. You can sense this film due to your tongue feeling the silky surface on your teeth.
