Evaluation of Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation on fluoride-releasing materials used as pit and fissure sealants. [PDF]
Eur J Oral SciAbstract This in vitro study evaluated fluoride release and Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation on four types of dental sealants: a giomer, resin‐modified glass ionomer, compomer, and a fluoride‐free composite (control). Discs were prepared as per the manufacturers’ instructions, and they were placed in tubes containing ultrapure water.
