Influence of Filler Content and Polishing on Candida and Streptococci Biofilm Formation in Resin-Based Composites: An In Vitro Evaluation

Conclusion: The results revealed that the amount of filler in resin-based composites had a major impact on the biofilm metabolic activity. Therefore, resin-based composites with a minimized excess resin matrix, minimized filler amount, and smoother surfaces might be more useful in reducing biofilm m...

Description
Summary:Conclusion: The results revealed that the amount of filler in resin-based composites had a major impact on the biofilm metabolic activity. Therefore, resin-based composites with a minimized excess resin matrix, minimized filler amount, and smoother surfaces might be more useful in reducing biofilm metabolic activity and secondary caries. These findings may be useful for modifying novel resin-based composite formulations to improve oral health and patient wellbeing.
