Abstract
Objective: To assess accumulation of Streptococcus Mutans (SM), in biofilm collected from Excessive Adhesive Flash (EAF) produced from two different orthodontic adhesive resins, in patients undertaking fixed appliance therapy.
Materials and Methods: A prospective interventional split mouth design was followed. 20 patients were segregated based on the resin used: Group 1: Right maxillary lateral incisor bonded with non- tooth coloured resin [adh 1: Transbond Plus]; Group 2: LeR maxillary lateral incisor bonded with tooth coloured resin [adh 2: Transbond XT]. Plaque was procured from EAF at these sites at 4 inter- vals: T0- before bonding; T1-1-month aRer bonding; T2-2 months aRer bonding; T3-3 months aRer bonding. Colonization of SM was assessed by colony count.
Results: There was a statistically significant surge in SM count, at T1 in both groups. The colony counts of SM were greater in Group 2. A subsequent decrease was seen in colony counts of both groups at T2 and T3, as mouth rinse was prescribed aRer T1.
Conclusions: The EAF formed from both adhesives, showed increased colonisation of SM at T1. The amount of SM on the EAF
generated from Transbond XT was greater in comparison to Transbond Plus.
