✦ Synopsis
In this study, the antibacterial monomer 12methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide (MDPB) and an adhesion-promoting phosphoric monomer were incorporated into Bis-GMA-based dental resin and its antibacterial activity after curing was investigated. The experimental resin containing MDPB and 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) was polymerized and washed with methanol, and the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against Streptococcus mutans were determined. Growth of S. mutans was strongly inhibited by contact with the surface of cured MDPB/MDP-containing resin, although the bacteri-cidal effect was small. Cured MDPB/MDP-containing resin also showed an inhibitory effect against in vitro plaque formation on its surface by S. mutans. The bactericide immobilized in Bis-GMA-based resin demonstrated bacteriostatic activity as a contact antimicrobial even when adhesionpromoting phosphoric monomer was incorporated into the materials.
