Abstract
Caries is a common dental problem brought on by factors like excessive sugar consumption, poor oral hygiene, and the presence of microorganisms in the mouth. This dental pathology is treated with a variety of filling materials, including tooth-colored direct resin dental composite (RDC), glass ionomer cement (GIC), and dental amalgam (also known as silver filling). RDC is the most preferred filling material in dental clinics due to its excellent esthetics and minimal tooth preparation, making it the need of the modern era. However, antimicrobial agents were added to this material in order to enhance its ability to prevent secondary caries. The antibacterial activity of RDC has been tested using a variety of methods, but testing protocols have been found to vary. Thusly, the point of this article is to examine the disparity in the strategy involved by specialists for testing the antibacterial properties of RDCs.
期刊介绍：
Microbiology Research is an international, online-only, open access peer-reviewed journal which publishes original research, review articles, editorials, perspectives, case reports and brief reports to benefit researchers, microbiologists, physicians, veterinarians. Microbiology Research publishes ‘Clinic’ and ‘Research’ papers divided into two different skill and proficiency levels: ‘Junior’ and ‘Professional’. The aim of this four quadrant grid is to encourage younger researchers, physicians and veterinarians to submit their results even if their studies encompass just a limited set of observations or rely on basic statistical approach, yet upholding the customary sound approach of every scientific article.
