Abstract
This study evaluated the susceptibility to amine fluorides (AmFs) of p lanktonic and biofilm cultures of Streptococcus sanguis grown with and without sucrose. Cultures were incubated with AmFs (250 mg of fluorid e liter(-1)) for I min. The susceptibility of biofilms was less than t hat of the planktonic form and was further decreased by growth in the presence of sucrose.
