Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to assess the antibacterial activity of the following three dental liners: Vitrebond (3M, St Paul, MN), Dycal (LD Caulk, Dentsply International, Milford, DE), and Life (Kerr, Romulus, MI). The test was based on a modification of the agar diffusion test in which samples were placed on agar plates previously inoculated with Streptococcus mutans and were removed after predetermined time periods. The material's effect on bacterial growth was evaluated. Results show that Vitrebond has a strong antibacterial effect that was evident after 1 minute of direct contact with the inoculated bacteria. It was significantly more effective (P<.0001) than Dycal or Life. This method allows for the evaluation of the antibacterial effect of dental materials.
