Title: Enhancement of the antiplaque value of antibacterial agents through enamel-conditioning methods: II. Acquisition of antiplaque properties by treated enamel. Author: Katz S, Park KC. Journal: J Dent Res; 1976; 55(6):1084-7. PubMed ID: 12195. Abstract: Enamel specimens treated with systems containing enamel conditioners and antibacterial agents have previously been shown to incorporate the latter into the enamel. It has now been demonstrated that enamel blocks treated with these systems become highly resistant to bacterial colonization, that this effect is rather long lasting, and that the treated specimens prevent acid formation when incubated with Streptococcus mutans in a sugar-containing medium.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
