Results thus obtained showed a significant difference between the two groups: study group (teeth reconstructed with composite materials) and control group (natural teeth). Although prosthetic parts were finished and polished to allow a smooth self-cleaning surface and subjects have used additional methods of oral hygiene (dental thread and mouthwash), the prosthetic surface presented a far greater number of microorganisms compared with the surface of natural counterparts teeth thus, in general, values were ten times higher in favor of the prosthetic surface compared with the natural control teeth %U http://www.gbm.bio.uaic.ro/index.php/gbm/article/view/717
