The impact of an alkasite restorative material on the ph of a streptococcus mutans biofilm and dentin remineralization: an in vitro study
Pawinee Wiriyasatiankun
Abstract:This study investigated the effect of an alkasite material on the pH of�Streptococcus mutans�biofilm and dentin hardness.�S. mutans�biofilms were formed on a resin composite (FZ) and an alkasite (CN) materials and their pH determined after 24 h. Hydroxide, fluoride and calcium ions released from the materials were determined at 6 h, 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 d. Fourteen human molar teeth were cut horizontally across the middle third of the crown, bisected mesio-distally into two sections and each section divided int… Show more
