Clinical Science The Effect of an Antibacterial Solution on the Microflora of Human Incipient Fissure CariesOral Microbiology and Cariology Programs and Department of Operative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455
Oral Microbiology and Cariology Programs and Department of Operative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455 A technique for collecting various levels of plaque from incipient occlusal fissure caries was used to evaluate the antibacterial properties of a solution containing I2-KI, CuSO4, and ethanol. In comparison with control fissures (n = 6), the treated fissures (n = 9) showed a 98% difference in recoverable bacteria, with the killing of S. mutans, Actinomyces, and lactobacilli appearing to reflect the level of agent penetration.
