Influence of Bracket and Composite Material in Conjunction with Saliva pH on Streptococcus mutans Adhesion: A Controlled In vitro Investigation

Influence of Bracket and Composite Material in Conjunction with Saliva pH on Streptococcus mutans Adhesion: A Controlled In vitro Investigation

Background: Streptococcus mutans adhesion to orthodontic appliances initiates biofilm formation and increases caries risk. This study evaluated how bracket material, composite type, and saliva pH jointly affect S. mutans attachment in vitro. Methods: Six bracket–composite combinations (plastic, meta...
