| Abstract |
In the early stages of biofilm accumulation, the electric charge of the dental enamel and pellicle surfaces is known to be involved. We therefore investigated the relationship between oral hygiene and intraoral electric potential (IoP) in 45 male participants using a double-blind study. IoP, but not body surface electric potential, was loosely correlated with oral hygiene condition (Oral Hygiene Index; OHI). IoP was also loosely correlated with smartphone use; however, there was no significant correlation between smartphone use and OHI. IoP elevation might be caused by OHI elevation resulting from biofilm formation as an internal factor, with smartphone use as an external factor. This in vitro study revealed the generating capacity of Streptococcus mutans accompanied by biofilm accumulation using a microbial fuel cell. These results suggest that IoP elevation is caused by biofilm accumulation induced by power generation of oral bacteria, resulting in elevation of OHI.
