Biofilm colonization on biomedically-relevant surfaces is one of the major causes leading to reinfection, including in dental restorations. Every time a dental filling is [...]

The oral microbiome engages in a diverse array of highly sophisticated ecological interactions that are crucial for maintaining symbiosis with the host. Streptococci and [...]

PGRP3 is a protein that helps the body recognize and respond to bacteria based on the essential structures of the bacteria. They are believed to act by helping to maintai [...]

The development of biofilms on dental restorations may lead to the formation of secondary caries. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of bioactive sma [...]

The theory that, in positively charged molecules, longer side chains act as a lancet leading to bacterial disruption remains unproved. Given the flexibility and size of t [...]

The acquired salivary pellicle (AP) modulates the composition of the oral biofilm adhered to oral structures. The aim of this study was to investigate how the surface che [...]

The efficacy of any antibacterial coating depends on their ability to directly contact the microorganisms they seek to eliminate. In the oral cavity, all surfaces are alm [...]

White spot lesions are an unfortunate but common side effect of orthodontic treatment. Since treatment of white spot lesions after their formation is not guaranteed to be [...]
