  • Title: A study of in vitro attachment of Streptococcus sanguis and Actinomyces viscosus to saliva-treated titanium.
    Author: Wolinsky LE, de Camargo PM, Erard JC, Newman MG.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants; 1989; 4(1):27-31. PubMed ID: 2599579.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the initial attachment of Streptococcus sanguis G9-B and Actinomyces viscosus T14V to saliva-treated powdered enamel and titanium surfaces. Using an in vitro adherence model, significantly lower numbers of Actinomyces viscosus T14V bound to the saliva-treated titanium surface when compared to that of the similarly treated enamel. The binding of Streptococcus sanguis G9-B to titanium or enamel did not vary significantly. A comparison of the percentage of cells bound to the titanium surface revealed that S sanguis cells attached in significantly higher numbers when compared to the A viscosus cells.
