Alex Watch, a research center of Valencia, studied why some people, even though they had poor oral hygiene, tooth decay had never developed against others that developed it, and discovered that these bacteria are the advocates for the disease.
From this pool, we saw the possibility of incorporating this organism in those who do not through food and remedies.
