Table 2. Biometric parameters of 16 h flow cell S. mutans biofilms cultured using Fuji VII or Fuji VII EP as the substratum.

Values are the mean and standard deviation of three biological replicates.

Average thickness (μm)	7.72 ± 2.11	1.45 ± 0.25^*	-81%
Maximum thickness (μm)	37.07 ± 12.69	13.2 ± 1.83^*	-64%
Surface area: Volume ratio	2.97 ± 0.53	2.45 ± 0.57	-18%
Proportion of the substratum colonised (%)	3.98 ± 1.23	6.05 ± 2.55	+34%
