Despite several researches done to determine accuracy of microbial growth in the restoration treatment, the mechanisms for these reports is still unclear.The aim of the study was to comparison adhesion of the Streptococcus mutans on glazed IPS e.max press, glazed feldspatic and dental enamel. The in vitro study was done on 15 samples: 5 glazed IPS e.max, 5 glazed feldspatic and 5 dental enamels for vicinity of the bacterial suspension containing Streptococcus mutans (10 × 10 6 cell/mLit). After 48 hours, Streptococcus mutans colonies were counted with the naked eye. The mean Streptococcus mutans attached to dental enamel was 24.4±8.44 (P<0.001). The Streptococcus mutans attached to glazed IPS e.max was 1.8±0.83. The Streptococcus mutans attached to glazed feldspatic was 1.4±0.54. No significant differences observed between the IPS e.max and feldspatic (P<0.8). The results showed Streptococcus mutans adhesion to enamel was higher than glazed IPS e.max and glazed feldspatic ceramic material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
