In this study, the viability of Streptococcus mutans planktonic and biofilm cells after exposure to antibacterial monomer MDPB for a short period was assessed. The results indicate that unpolymerized MDPB at 1000 µg/mL (8 times the MBC) was effective to kill S. mutans in suspension and biofilm within 60 sec, suggesting its effectiveness for cavity disinfection under clinical situation.
