Antibacterial activity of tooth-colored dental restorative materials

D. Orstavik and A. Hensten-Pettersen

The antibacterial activity of dental restorative materials (12 resin based and one silicate) was tested in vitro against 5 species of bacteria. When fresh, all materials inhibited growth in pour plates of at least one bacterial strain. After storage in saline for 24 hours, the antibacterial activity was markedly reduced. There was a wide variation among the materials in the extent of their antibacterial activity. The bacterial strains apparently differed in their susceptibility to the antibacterial activity of the materials.
