No it acts as a membrane to which bacteria attach
This is the Occlusal surface
Dental pellicle can be removed by abrasion involving extensive polishing which can only be performed by a dentist. Dental pellicle is the protein film which forms on the enamel surface.
A central fossa is formed in the occlusal surface when multiple cusps join together. This fossa provides a central depression where food can accumulate during chewing and aids in guiding the movement of the mandible during occlusion.
"Occlusal" refers to the biting surface of teeth, while "contact point" refers to the area where adjacent teeth touch each other. Occlusal contact points are the specific spots where teeth come into contact during biting and chewing.
an area on the occlusal surface of the teeth where the grooves come together or the fissures cross
A thin skin or film., A thin film formed on the surface of an evaporating solution.
A pellicle is a tacky film that forms on the surface of meat when smoking, which helps the smoke flavor adhere better to the meat and helps retain moisture during cooking. To achieve a pellicle, first pat the meat dry with paper towels, then let it sit in the refrigerator uncovered for a few hours to air-dry and allow the pellicle to form before smoking.
"Occlusive" is an adjective that refers to the occlusal, which is the chewing surface of molar and pre-molar teeth.
The film of cells at the surface of a broth is typically referred to as a "pellicle." This pellicle forms as a result of bacterial growth and can be observed in certain bacterial cultures, especially those with aerobic bacteria that form biofilms at the air-liquid interface.

A pellicle is a thin, skin-like film that forms on the surface of food when it is smoked, helping to trap and hold the smoke flavor. It acts as a barrier to help retain moisture and protect the outer layer of the food during the smoking process.
A pellicle in microbiology refers to a thin film or layer that forms on the surface of a liquid culture, typically composed of microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substances. This structure is commonly observed in biofilms formed by bacteria and fungi in different environments, providing protection and allowing for interactions with the surrounding environment.
