Influence of salivary conditioning and sucrose concentration on biofilm-mediated enamel demineralization

Conclusion Within the study limitations, surface conditioning using human saliva does not influence biofilm – mediated enamel caries lesion formation as measured by transverse microradiography, while differences were observed using surface microhardness, indicating a complex interaction between pellicle proteins and biofilm – mediated demineralization of the enamel surface.
