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
