This study evaluated the effects of sodium hexametaphosphate microparticles (HMPmicro) or nanoparticles (HMPnano) on the growth of saliva-derived microcosm biofilms
Materials and methods
Saliva-derived biofilms were formed on glass coverslips for 24 h. Thereafter,
Streptococcus mutans
(C180-2) was incorporated or not into the biofilms. From that time point onwards, solutions containing 0.2% HMPmicro or HMPnano, combined or not with 220 ppm F, were constantly present in the culture medium. In addition, 220 ppm F alone (220F) and McBain medium without any compound were also tested as positive and negative controls (CTL), respectively. After 96 h, the biofilms were plated on anaerobic blood agar or sucrose agar bacitracin for total and
S. mutans
CFU-counting, respectively. Biofilms’ lactic acid production was analysed spectrophotometrically. Data were submitted to ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis’ tests, followed by Student-Newman-Keuls’ test (
