Abstract:The formation and colonization of biofilms inside the oral cavity are still not understood in detail, although biofilms inside the oral cavity can lead to expensive dental diseases like caries, periodontitis, or the detachment of implants. Such biofilms consist, to a large extent, of proteins, carbohydrates, and other macromolecules. Whereas the interaction of proteins with dental materials is widely studied, the literature does not report interactions of polysaccharides. Here, scanning force spectroscopy is u… Show more
