Table 2. Results (mean±standard deviation) of fluorescence loss (ΔF), integrated fluorescence loss (ΔQ), and lesion depth for all the biofilm-induced protocols (n=15). Ss: Streptococcus sobrinus, Lc: Lactobacillus casei, and Sm: Streptococcus mutans.
Groups | ∆F (%) | ∆Q (%mm2) | Lesion depth (µm) |
---|---|---|---|
Ss + Lc | -20.0 ± 2.6%a | -305.7 ± 54.3%a | 137.5 ± 40.2a |
Ss | -14.3 ± 3.1%b | -163.2 ± 85.6%b | 84.1 ± 14.7b |
Sm | -12.7 ± 2.9%b | -107.5 ± 54.4%b | 55.0 ± 6.9c |
