lysine appears important for dental biofilm accumulation and the epithelial barrier to bacterial proinflammatory agents. After oral hygiene restriction, lysine decarboxylase activity seems to determine dental biofilm lysine content and biofilm accumulation. When biofilm lysine exceeds minimal blood plasma content after oral hygiene restriction, less gingival crevicular fluid appears despite more biofilm
