Eradiation of S. mutans biofilm by swishing treatment with antimicrobial polymers for 30 seconds. (A) Schematic presentation of swishing treatment of biofilm by vigorously pipetting for 30 seconds. (B) The effect of solvents (0.001% acetic acid and water) on biofilm eradication. (C) The biomass of remaining biofilm after 30 seconds treatment of polymers, chlorhexidine (CHX) and surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) measured by CV staining. [Polymer, CHX, or CTAB] = 62.5, 125 and 250 μg/mL. *p< 0.05.
