This work assessed the influence of amount dentifrice and fluoride (F) concentration in product on pH inorganic components Streptococcus mutans Candida albicans dual-species biofilms. The biofilms were treated with suspensions dentifrices containing 550 or 1100 ppm F (550 F, respectively) administered at comparable intensities: (i-1) F/0.08 g F/0.04 g; (i-2) F/0.16 (i-3) F/0.32 g. A placebo (without NaF, 0.32 g) was used as a negative control. After last treatment, biofilm measured calcium...
This study evaluated the effects of micrometric or nano-sized sodium hexametaphosphate (HMPnano), combined not with fluoride (NaF, 1100 ppm), on dual-species biofilms Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. Biofilms were treated solutions containing polyphosphates at 0.5% 1.0%, with/without (F), in addition to positive negative controls. analysed by colony-forming units (CFU) counting, metabolic activity, production biomass, composition extracellular matrix, structure. 1% HMPnano + F led...
Despite the remarkable effects of sodium hexametaphosphate nanoparticles (HMPnano) on dental enamel de-/re-mineralization processes, information these biofilms is scarce. This study assessed HMPnano, with or without fluoride (F), inorganic components and pH Streptococcus mutans Candida albicans dual-species biofilms. Solutions containing conventional/micro-sized HMP (HMPmicro) HMPnano were prepared at 0.5% 1%, 1100 ppm F. A F solution pure artificial saliva tested as positive negative...
