Abstract

The effect of the copolymer M239, 144 with and without chlorhexidine on the adherence of oral streptococci to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite was investigated. At 1% w/v M239, 144 reduced the adherence of Streptococcus sanguis NCTC 7863 by 94%. It had a moderate effect on the adherence of other Strep. sanguis strains and a Streptococcus gordonii strain but had no effect on the adherence of Streptococcus oralis or Streptococcus mutans. Chlorhexidine did not influence the anti-adhesive properties of 1% w/v M239, 144.
