In the oral cavity, all surfaces are almost immediately coated with a layer of proteins known as the acquired salivary pellicle (ASP) once in contact with saliva. In this study, the antibacterial efficacy of a quaternary ammonium methacrylate (QAM) was tested in the presence of ASP, in terms of surface charge density and overall S. mutans elimination. 000009519 536__ $$oR35-DE029083$$cNIH-NIDCR 000009519 540__ $$fCC BY 000009519 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009519 650__ $$aComposite Resins$$016979 000009519 650__ $$aBiofilms$$030801 000009519 6531_ $$aantimicrobial materials 000009519 6531_ $$as. mutans 000009519 6531_ $$adental restoration 000009519 6531_ $$adental fillings 000009519 691__ $$aSchool of Dentistry$$041368 000009519 692__ $$aDivision of Biomaterials and Biomechanics$$041456 000009519 7001_ $$aBorgs, Lincoln P.
