An in vitro model to assess effects of a desensitising agent on bacterial biofilm formation

Desensitising agents are added to dentifrices to occlude exposed dentine tubules and reduce pain associated with dentine hypersensitivity. In occluding the tubules these agents may alter the surface layer of the dentine and consequently affect bacterial biofilm formation. This research sought to exa...
