Fig. 6

Total number of S. mutans cells present in the biofilm remaining on the resin discs after an immersion and a combination treatment for 5 s. The total bacterial load was assessed as the number of bacteria determined using the PCR-invader assay per cm− 2 (corresponding to the unit area of one resin disc). Data are presented as means ± SD (n = 7, one-way ANOVA, Steel-Dwass test *p < 0.05). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals
