Evaluation of Composite Resin and Toothpaste in Controlling Dental Demineralization and Bacterial Growth

Posted: January 16, 2025
The study evaluated the efficacy of composite resins with and without S-PRG particles and the use of toothpaste in controlling demineralization and bacterial growth on human molars. The results showed that toothpaste significantly reduced bacteria counts and positively impacted enamel microhardness. Both restorative systems effectively controlled enamel demineralization, with no superiority of S-PRG composite resin over conventional composite resin under a cariogenic challenge. The study provides insights into the interactions of restorative materials and biofilm formation in a high caries risk environment.
