Abstract: Objective To explore the impact of exogenous dextranase(Dex) and sodium fluoride(NaF) on the biomass, biofilm vitality and acid production of Actinomyces viscosus in different sucrose concentration substrate. Methods Crystal violet staining was used to quantify the biomass of A. viscosus in each group. 2,3 bis(2 methoxy 4 nitro 5 sulfophenyl) 5 [(phenylamino)carbonyl] 2H tetrazolium hydroxide(XTT) assay was used to detect the vitality of the bacterial biofilms. pH electrode was applied to measure the pH values of the initial(pH1) and the 18 h liquid culture medium(pH2), and then the ΔpH(pH1-pH2) values was calculated. Results Under different sucrose concentration conditions, the bacterial biomass increased with the increase of sucrose concentration, and reached the peak at a sucrose mass fraction of 0.5%, and then decreased with the increase of sucrose concentration. In the 1% sucrose mass fraction groups, the bacterial biomass formed in the Dex+NaF group was significantly less than in the Dex or NaF group. In all groups, the bacterial vitality was decreased along with the increased sucrose concentration. Under the same sucrose concentration, the bacteria vitality of the Dex group was similar to that of the control group(P>0.05), and there was a slight increase in the bacteria vitality in the NaF group compared with the control group(P<0.05). With the increase of sucrose concentration, ΔpH changes were first increased and then decreased. The single or combined use of NaF and Dex could inhibit the acid production of A. viscosus under the sucrose mass fraction ranged from 0.25% to 2%. Conclusion Sucrose concentration was one of the factors that can influence the effect of Dex and NaF, both single and combination, on the bacterial biomass, biofilm vitality and acid production. The inhibitory effect of the combined use of Dex and NaF on the formation of bacterial biofilm showed a synergistic effect at the sucrose mass fraction of 1%. Dex and NaF displayed synergistic effect on acid production at the sucrose mass fraction of 2%.
