Mutans and lactobacilli levels in human saliva. Biotechnology and Biotechnological Equipment, 20(2), 156-159.1310-2818https://doi.org/10.1080/13102818.2006.10817359https://hdl.handle.net/11468/23458https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13102818.2006.10817359The aim of this study was to evaluate the functions of bracket pellicles as the binding receptors for Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli. Different composites used as orthodontic direct bonding adhesives have a polymeric matrix that can host and nurture a variety of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms acting alone or in combination. Their accumulation can lead to the weakening of the bond and possibly the attacking of the tooth. A number of microorganisms have been identified as present on the removed direct bonding brackets. Four different types of orthodontic adhesives were used: Transbond XT, Kurasper F, Ideal 1, Relly A Bond. Samples were evaluated with Ivoclar bacteria Kit. There were significant differences in group evaluation that was include 0,1,2 and 6. months control (P< 0.05). But Between these groups we didn't find any significant differences (P>0.05). Practicing satisfactory oral hygiene, such as adequate tooth brushing, mouth rinsing, and dental flossing, plays a vital role in maintaining healthy teeth, especially in the orthodontic patient.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle2021561592-s2.0-3374579953710.1080/13102818.2006.10817359Q3
