  • Title: [Evaluation of in vitro adhesion of cariogenic microorganisms to enamel and dental filling materials].
    Author: Casas I, Liébana J, Marín A, Baca P, Navajas JM.
    Journal: Av Odontoestomatol; 1989 Dec; 5(10):695-9. PubMed ID: 2640100.
    Abstract:
    The adhesive ability of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces viscosus-naeslundii on enamel, amalgam and composite of microparticle and small-particle are studied "in vitro". The selective mediums used for the three micro-organisms are, respectively, Rogosa agar, M.S.B. and C.F.A.T. The lower adherence is showed by bacterias of Lactobacillus genus. S. mutans and A. viscosus-naeslundii show similar adherence properties between them. The greatest adherence was obtained in composites, being S. mutans the bacteria with a greatest level of adherence to the composites of small-particle, and A. viscosus-naeslundii the bacteria with more adherence to the ones of micro-particle. The adherence on amalgam was slightly lower than the adherence on enamel.
