Natural saliva as an adjuvant in a secondary caries model based on Streptococcus mutans.
Archives of Oral Biology 2018 June
OBJECTIVE: Two factors for secondary caries formation were evaluated using an artificial biofilm model, saliva as additive in culture medium and bonding procedures of composite materials for artificial gap creation.
DESIGN: Standardized cavities were prepared in bovine tooth samples (n = 44), treated with two different bonding pretreatments, restored and after artificial ageing incubated with Streptococcus mutans in a Mueller-Hinton-Broth-Sugar medium with or without human saliva for seven days. Secondary caries formation was analyzed using confocal laser scanning microscopy and transversal microradiography.
RESULTS: Lesions were significantly pronounced in groups using saliva, but were not influenced by the bonding pretreatments.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the addition of saliva, but not the type of bonding procedure influences the outcome in the present biofilm-based secondary caries model.
