Abstract EN
The aim of the study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of composite materials modified with calcium fluoride against cariogenic bacteria S.
mutans and L.
acidophilus.
One commercially available conventional light-curing composite material containing fluoride ions (F2) and two commercially available flowable light-curing composite materials (Flow Art and X-Flow) modified with 1.5, 2.5, and 5.0 wt% anhydrous calcium fluoride addition were used in the study.
Composite material samples were incubated in 0.95% NaCl at 35°C for 3 days; then dilution series of S.
mutans and L.
acidophilus strains were made from the eluates.
Bacteria dilutions were cultivated on media afterwards.
Colony-forming unit per 1 mL of solution (CFU/mL) was calculated.
Composite materials modified with calcium fluoride highly reduced (p<0.001) bacteria growth compared to commercially available composite materials containing fluoride compounds.
The greatest reduction in bacteria growth was observed for composite materials modified with 1.5% wt.
CaF2.
All three tested composite materials showed statistically greater antibacterial activity against L.
acidophilus than against S.
mutans.
