| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to evaluate interaction of artificial phosphated pullulan and natural lectin as oral infection control systems.Contriving adaptation of these materials improved efficacy by analyzing interaction.The algal lectin used in this study may offer a novel strategy to reduce development of infection on saliva-coated surface by inhibiting the initial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation of S. mutans.
In future, natural lectin is applied as a food, phosphated pullulan as oral care agent.
