Article Snippet: , Streptococcus mutans UA159 ATCC 700610 , TCS- Methacrylate (TM) monomer, which was developed and incorporated into an experimental resin composite (TEGDMA) Cell metabolism–XTT metabolic assay Biofilm characteristic analysis (CLSM) Live/Dead Quantitative virulence gene expression , • Decreased cellular metabolism of S. mutans on the TM-containing composite, compared with the TM-free composite • Decrease in biovolume, average thickness, roughness and surface values of the biofilm formed on the composite containing TM compared to that which does not contain it • the contact time (4 h or 24 h) between TM-composite and S. mutans down-regulated the gbpB and covR and up-regulated the gtfC gene expression , ( ) .
