Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the effect of a 2.5% titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) solution followed by self-etching adhesives against Streptococcus mutans/Sm and Lactobacillus casei/Lc. Four cylindrical-shaped cavities were performed on each dentin surface of 40 third molars and contaminated with Sm or Lc. Each one of the four cavities received one of the following treatments (n = 10): 1) control; 2) TiF4; 3) Clearfil SE Bond/CSE or Adper EasyOne/AEO; 4) TiF4 followed by CSE or AED. ANOVA was applied to data. The TiF4 solution showed an antimicrobial effect, although the TiF4 used for dentin pretreatment before CSE or AEO showed no influence on antimicrobial effect.
