This study aimed to describe the factors associated with biofilms formation in dental pathology by comparison of bacterial growth on dental and stainlesssteel surfaces. We studied in vitro the behavior of Staphylococcus aureus Métis in order to observe the capacity of adhesion, to evaluate quantitatively the potential of proliferation and to compare the behavior of this germ in contact with the two surfaces. The biomaterials used were cylinders in Stainless steel (AISI 316L), dental fragments and stainless-steel fragments, all were disinfected for 15 minutes and then sterilized in a wet autoclave at 120˚C for 30 min. Macroscopic observation with a binocular magnifier of bacterial proliferation was carried out regularly after 6 h and 24 h of incubation. Observation by optical microscope based on GRAM staining made it possible to visualize the presence or absence of bacteria and to differentiate them. The adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus Méti S on dental fragments was compared to the one obtained on stainless steel fragments. We also carried a Bacterial count by optical dosing. The results show that the ability of this germ to colonize and develop biofilms on surfaces depends mainly on the characteristics of the surface. Rough surfaces as dental surface are more likely to developing biofilms than smooth surfaces like stainless-steel surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
