RESUMO

A new antibacterial monomer, Methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide (MDPB), with antibacterial property and ability to co-polymerize with other monomers, was introduced by Imazato, Torii and Tsuchitani (1993). This study aimed to analyze the effect of MDPB on bacterial adherence to resin composites containing or not MDPB. Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus sobrinus were used. The biofilms were collected from the samples and the colony forming units (CFUs) were counted after 16, 40 e 64 h of incubation. The data were compared by ANOVA complemented by the Tukey’s test. The results showed that the adhesion of S. sanguinis to MDPB-containing resin composite was significantly higher (p<0.05) than to control samples at 16 h, but significantly diminished at 40 h, reaching values similar to those of control samples (p<0.01). The adherence of S. sobrinus to control samples significantly increased throughout the experimental time (p<0.01) and was considerably higher than to MDPB at 64 h (p<0.05). Thus, the study showed that MDPB is capable of inhibit adhesion of S. sobrinus with no interference on the adhesion of S. sanguinis. Thus, at the conditions of this study we suggest that MDPB incorporated to resin composites could be of importance to prevent secondary caries favoring adhesion of commensal bacteria and impairing adhesion of cariogenic bacteria.
