Abstract

Examining the physical mechanisms related to biofilm removal of sulfonated phenolics (SP) is difficult using conventional microscopy techniques. A custom flow cell system integrated with a real time cross polarization optical coherence tomography system investigated the dynamic speed of biofilm removal when oral multi-species biofilms are exposed to SP under sheer stress. The Near infrared 1310-nm CP-OCT system non-destructively imaged fluid immersed oral biofilms at nearly 30 frames/s. This dynamic imaging was able to determine the cohesive and adhesion related disruption of SP on oral biofilms adhering to tooth like surfaces. For multi-species biofilms that are initially grown without the presence of sucrose, the disruption of biofilms on saliva coated hydroxyapatite (HA) is dominated as a adhesive failure at the HA-biofilm interface. For multi-species biofilms that are grown in the presence of sucrose, the disruption is dominated by cohesive disruption followed by adhesive failure. This novel CP-OCT flow cell assay has the potential to examine rapid interactions between anti-biofilm agents and tooth like surfaces.
