Influence of biofilm formation on the optical properties of novel bioactive glass-containing composites

Highlights • We prepared novel bioactive glass (BAG) and fluoride-containing BAG composites. • The effects of biofilm on the optical properties of these composites were investigated. • The biofilm may contribute to decreasing the color change of these composites. • Bacterial Biofilm decreased the tr...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We prepared novel bioactive glass (BAG) and fluoride-containing BAG composites. • The effects of biofilm on the optical properties of these composites were investigated. • The biofilm may contribute to decreasing the color change of these composites. • Bacterial Biofilm decreased the translucency of the highly polished BAG composites.
