Influence of oral bacteria on adhesion of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis to dental materials.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the effect of bacterial multispecies communities on the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis to dental restorative material was investigated. The saliva-coated specimens of zirconia and composite were incubated with the following combinations: single species, S. mutans or S. sanguinis; two species, single species combined with other oral streptococci; multiple species, combination of Actinomyces naeslundii, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Prevotella ssp.; and the two-species combinations. The adherent bacteria were counted after plating of serial dilutions. Effects of material and bacteria on adhesion of S. mutans and S. sanguinis were evaluated with multiple linear regression analyses. No si
