Mutans streptococci in margins of fillings and crowns

Streptococcus mutans Growth and Resultant Material Surface Roughness on Modified Glass Ionomers

“…Colonization of the chitosan with S. mutans is expected to some extent considering that an in vivo study has shown that S. mutans colonization for various restoration margins is always present, even in different patients [ 1 ]. The surfaces of crowns, amalgams and composites have shown consistent S. mutans colonization, although the amount of colonization had great variability when the OD450 nm between restorations and the OD450 nm of saliva from the same patients were compared [ 49 ]. The chitosan materials seem to have fewer singular S. mutans as illustrated by the white arrows highlighting the quorum function in the thick biofilm growth from the chitosan particle ( Figure 6 ).…”

Recovering Streptococcus mutans over restorations by the tray technique: a randomized clinical study

“…Additionally, a positive but nonsignificant correlation was observed between the results of TR and saliva, and similar results were observed when correlating the results of TT and saliva. This result may be explained mainly by the difficulty of removing the biofilm from different areas of the teeth by chewing on paraffin wax 17 . In this research the patients were standardized by sampling on restorations with Alpha rating, mainly to homogenize the samples.…”

Inconsistent levels of mutans streptococci and lactobacilli measured in stimulated whole saliva
