The adherence of Streptococcus mutans to E-glass used in fiber-reinforced composites, denture base polymer, and four other restoratives was investigated. The materials were studied with and without a parotid saliva and serum pellicle. Specimens of the studied materials (E-glass, denture base polymer

β¦ Synopsis
The adherence of Streptococcus mutans OMZ-176 to six implant materials (polycrystal alumina, single-crystal alumina, titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, hydroxyapatite, and heat-curing polymethylmethacrylate resin) was studied in vitro. The change of free energy, which corresponds to the adherence process, was also evaluated for hydrophobic interaction.
Adherence of S. mutans to poly-crystal alumina was lower than adherence to other materials. The adherence of S. mutans to the test materials was highly correlated with the change of free energy, which suggests that hydrophobic interaction plays an important role in the adherence of S. mutans to the implant materials.
tococcus mutuns OMZ-176 and six implant materials. We also explored the effects of saliva and serum on microbial adherence.
