Tooth filling materials and coatings for inhibiting the biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans and their production

摘要

Tooth filling materials and tooth varnishes for inhibiting the biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans are described, comprising (a) an amount of an active substance for inhibiting biofilm formation, (b) a material for forming a structure for the uptake and delayed release of the active substance and (c) a filler system. Another aspect of this invention relates to a method for producing tooth filling materials or tooth varnishes according to the invention for inhibiting the formation of biofilm of Streptococcus mutans. The present invention also relates to a kit comprising tooth filling materials or tooth varnishes according to the invention and one or more further constituents. Also described are methods for inhibiting the formation of Streptococcus mutans biofilm, methods for producing a dental component which inhibits biofilm formation, and the use of the active substance specified in more detail below for producing a dental material.
