Inhibitory effect of resin composite containing S-PRG filler on Streptococcus mutans glucose metabolism

Conclusions pH reduction by S. mutans acid production was inhibited on resin composite containing S-PRG fillers. Moreover, S. mutans glucose metabolism and acid production were inhibited in the presence of low concentrations of BO3 3− or F−. Clinical Significance BO3 3− or F− released from resin composite containing S-PRG fillers exhibits inhibitory effects on S. mutans metabolism at concentrations lower than those which inhibit bacterial growth.
