Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was analyzed the genes of A. naeslundii fimbriae, and evaluated the biofilm removal of a titanium oxide semiconductor with an electric toothbrush. In these results, we couldn’t succeed in the mutation of A. naeslundii fimbriae, but titanium oxide photocatalytic properties and electric current contribute to the reduction of oral biofilm and aid in the prevention of periodontal diseases.
