Detachment of Streptococcus mutans biofilm cells by an endogenous enzymatic activity
Previous studies have shown that Streptococcus mutans NG8 possesses an endogenous surface protein-releasing enzyme (SPRE) activity that liberates its own surface proteins (S. P. Lee, Infect. Immun. 60:4032-4039, 1992). The ... -
The effect of distance from light source on light intensity from curing lights
PURPOSE: To investigate how light intensity changes as the distance increases from the tip of the light guide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten different curing light/light guide combinations were used. Light intensity was ... -
