Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is how to establish a biofilm forming protocal by 4 kinds of microorganisms and to develop the basic investigation model in vitro of periodontal disease. The microorganisms were Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, S.gordonii and S. mutans. We tried biofilm formation on the section of a human tooth with the TYGVS culture medium added N-acetylmuramic acid. The biofilm formation was confirmed by the SEM observation and the bacterial flora analyses. And we found that the stability of the biofilm is affected by several conditions.
