Popis: Objective:This study aims to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), Listerine, and boric acid (BA), applied to three different restorative dental materials, on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) adhesion.Methods:A total of 120 samples were prepared in the study: Composite (Group CR; n=40), glass ionomer cement (Group GIC; n=40) and compomer (Group C; n=40). The upper and lower surface roughness of the samples were measured. After bacterial adhesions, each group was separated into four subgroups (n=10). Three mouthwash and distilled water (DS) were applied for one minute. Subsequently, the remaining S. mutans biofilms were examined by colony forming unit count (CFU) and MTT methods. Data were evaluated (p
