Abstract
A [plaque] model describing the adsorption isotherms for S. miteor (mitis) strain 26 to untreated and [human] saliva-treated hydroxyapatite was developed. The strengths of the adsorption bonds in the 2 systems were similar; the presence of selectively adsorbed salivary components increased the number of available binding sites 4-fold.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
