In some diseases, a very important role is played by the ability of bacteria to form multi-
dimensional complex structure known as biofilm. The most common disease of the oral …

The traditional concept of caries as a multifactorial transmittable and infectious disease has
been challenged. Novel conceptual ideas have come to add to the complexity of this highly …

Background & Aims Although Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is known to involve the
disruption of the gut microbiota, little is understood regarding how mucus-associated …

OBJECTIVES: Secondary caries at the restoration margins remains the main reason for
failure. Although calcium phosphate (CaP) composites are promising for caries inhibition …

Objectives The aim was to evaluate the effects of orally administered Lactobacillus
rhamnosus GG (LGG) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 (BB-12) on the …

Hypothesis Although bioactive glass (BG) particle coatings were previously developed by
different methods, poor particle adhesion to surfaces and reduced biological effects because …

Statins are important lipid-lowering agents with other pleiotropic effects. Several studies
have explored a possible protective effect of statins to reduce the morbidity and mortality of …

The aim of this study was to validate a model of S. mutans biofilm formation, which
simulated'feast-famine'episodes of exposure to sucrose that occur in the oral cavity, showed …

Photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PACT) promotes bacterial death as a result of the
photosensitization of microbial components. This study evaluated the effect of PACT on …

Objective Scarce evidence is available on the cariogenic potential of the widely used
commercial sweeteners. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of several …
