  • Title: A simple ultrasound method to characterize in vitro plaque inhibition activity.
    Author: Lim JK, Yong CL, Gerencser VF.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1979 Feb; 58(2):665-9. PubMed ID: 283099.
    Abstract:
    A method employing ultrasound vibration for evaluating in vitro plaque derived from Streptococcus mutans was developed. It successfully detected small changes in the cohesive/adhesive characteristics of deposits briefly exposed to several antibacterials and "antiadherents". Increased structural fragility and diminished plaque growth were generally associated with the antibacterials.
