Bacterial composition and red fluorescence of plaque in relation to primary and secondary caries next to composite: an in situ study
Molecular Oral Microbiology, 01/04/2008
Thomas RZ et al. - Secondary caries has been suggested as the main reason for restoration replacement. We hypothesized that more caries-associated bacteria are found on composite resin restoration material, compared to sound tooth tissue...The higher proportion of caries-associated bacteria on restored tissue indicates that the ecology on the surface of primary lesions differs from that on lesions next to composite, and that secondary caries next to composite may differ from the primary caries process
