ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Although the coating of surface sealants to dental composite resin may potentially reduce bacterial adhesion, there seems to be little information regarding this issue. This preliminary in vitro study investigated the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) on the dental composite resins coated with three commercial surface sealants. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Composite resin (Filtek Z250) discs (8 mm in diameter, 1 mm in thickness) were fabricated in a mold covered with a Mylar strip (control). In group PoGo, the surfaces were polished with PoGo. In groups PS, OG, and FP, the surfaces polished with PoGo were coated with the corresponding surface sealants (PermaSeal, PS; OptiGuard, OG; Fortify Plus, FP). The surfaces of the materials and S. mutans cells were characterized by various methods. S. mutans adhesion to the surfaces was quantitatively evaluated using flow cytometry (n = 9).RESULTS:
Group OG achieved the lowest water contact angle among all groups tested (p 0.05) or significantly lower (group OG, p < 0.001) bacterial adhesion when compared with the control group.CONCLUSIONS:
The application of the surface sealants significantly reduced S. mutans adhesion to the composite resin polished with the PoGo.
