Comparison of Streptococcus mutans Adhesion with Different Concentrations in Artificial Saliva to Fixed Orthodontic Materials in Laboratory Conditions

Comparison of Streptococcus mutans Adhesion with Different Concentrations in Artificial Saliva to Fixed Orthodontic Materials in Laboratory Conditions

Background: Biofilm accumulation is a common complication of orthodontic treatment, occurring in approximately 60% of patients. The irregular surfaces of orthodontic appliances (archwires, brackets, and braces) create retention areas that hinder effective oral hygiene, increase bacterial load, and a...
