Hydrophobicity test in mutans Streptococci
Acta odontol. latinoam; 23 (3), 2010
Kinetic hydrophobic measurements were performed by confronting 40 mutans streptococci from thirty 10- to 20-year-old patients with 200 ml hexadecane (Sigma). Fourteen patients had high dental caries risk (Group A), dmft + DMFT >5 with 3 or more active caries, and 16 had low dental caries risk (Group B...
