What is the role of eubacteria in dental caries?

Nice, we had the same textbook and had trouble on the same question. I'm probably too late to help you out but for anyone else having the same issue... Eubacteria is the cause of caries and cavities. When you get plaque on your teeth, that's a film of eubacteria forming over your teeth, the exact same kind that causes leprosy, tetanus, certain forms of pneumonia, whooping cough, etc. It also is usually spread when you sneeze (that's right, the same stuff that causes all these terrible diseases causes plaque, caries, and every time you sneeze you launch one or two of these suckers for every drop. Sneeze in your arm, not your hands).
