Colony-forming units (CFU) of 2-day biofilms on composites for 4 periodontitis-related species: (A) Porphyromonas gingivalis, (B) Prevotella intermedia, (C) Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and (D) Fusobacterium nucleatum (mean ± SD; n = 6). Note the log scale for the y-axis. Bars with dissimilar letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). 3MPC, the composite contained 3% MPC (2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine); 3DMAHDM, the composite contained 3% DMAHDM (dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate); EBPM, the resin consisted of ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate.
