title: Adsorption of Streptococcus mutans on chemically treated hydroxyapatite.
abstract: Adsorption of Streptococcus mutans on hydroxyapatite and chemically treated hydroxyapatite was studied. Zeta potentials of the surfaces were measured. Chemically treated hydroxyapatite gave higher zeta potentials and lower S mutans adsorption.
