Formation of a dental biofilm by Streptococcus mutans can cause dental caries, and remains
a costly health problem worldwide. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of …

Background Anticaries agents must interfere with the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans and
its proliferation in dental biofilm, without causing host toxicity and bacterial resistance …

Dental caries, mainly caused by the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans to pellicle-coated
tooth surfaces, is an important public health problem worldwide. A synthetic peptide (p1025) …

Streptococcus mutans is the primary agent of dental cavities, in large part due to its ability to
adhere to teeth and create a molecular scaffold of glucan polysaccharides on the tooth …

Oral biofilms, formed by multiple microorganisms and their extracellular polymeric
substances, seriously affect people's life. The emergence of the resistance of biofilms to …

Decapeptide KSL-W shows antibacterial activities and can be used in the oral cavity,
however, it is easily degraded in aqueous solution and eliminated. Therefore, we aimed to …

OBJECTIVES: This study was attempted to incorporate an antibacterial monomer,
methacryloxylethyl cetyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DMAE-CB), into a commercial dental …

Cariogenic Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a leading cause of bacterial-induced oral
diseases. Current strategies to kill bacteria based on Host defense peptide (HDP) mimicking …

Streptococcus mutans, the primary cause of dental caries, relies on its ability to create and
sustain a biofilm (dental plaque) for survival and pathogenicity in the oral cavity. This study …

Purpose To investigate the inhibition of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and its biofilm by
AgBr-nanoparticles (NP)@ CTMAB (cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide) and evaluate the …
