Abstract

Dental caries is an infectious microbiological disease that results in localized dissolution and destruction of the calcified tissues of the teeth. Streptococcus mutans is the single most important organism in the initiation of dental caries. However there is other microorganisms also associated with the oral microbiota and have been isolated from the different sites of oral cavity. In general, dental cements have a strong proclivity for the dissolution in the oral fluids resulting in marginal leakage and a roughened surface that accumulates food debris and bacteria. Due to this potentiality for leakage, any restorative/base/liner material used in the mouth should have anti-bacterial properties in defense against bacterial migration. Hence a study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of various Restorative, Base and Liner Materials
