Adsorption of Streptococcus mutans on chemically treated hydroxyapatite.
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.
