Influence of different biomaterials on the viability of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

The results of the present study suggest that none of the investigated biomaterials possesses antimicrobial properties against A. actinomycetemcomitans serotype b. Therefore, the use of these biomaterials for regenerative procedures should be weighted critically in the presence of A. actinomycetemcomitans serotype b.
