This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of the resilient reliner Coe Soft ® (RRCS) combined with antimicrobial polymer poly (2-tert butylaminoethyl) methacrylate (PTBAEMA) on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans biofilm formation. RRCS circular specimens were prepared (n=27), sterilized, divided into three groups according to PTBAEMA concentrations of 0% (control), 10% and 25% and inoculated into individual falcon tubes containing 5 mL of RPMI broth for fungi, TSB for S. aureus and BHI for S. mutans and kept overnight at 37°C with orbital shaking incubator at 75rpm, and S. mutans in microaerophilic. The specimens’ inoculations were followed by biofilm formation and its maturation at 37°C under orbital shaking at 75rpm. After that, each sample was transferred to tubes containing PBS and serial dilutions were performed. Aliquots of these dilutions were plated in Petri dishes and incubated at 37°C for 48h. The data were transformed into log (CFU +1)/mL, considering α = 0.05. The results showed that the group containing 25% of PTBAEMA inhibited completely biofilm formation of S. aureus and S. mutans. A significant reduction in counts of S. aureus and S. mutans (Kruskal- Wallis and Dunn; p = 0.001) were found in group containing 10% of PTBAEMA when compared to the values in the corresponding control groups. C. albicans had no significant differences between groups containing PTBAEMA and the control group (ANOVA; p> 0.05). It is concluded that the RRCS containing 10% and 25% PTBAEMA inhibited the biofilmformation of S. aureus and S. mutans. However, no significant effect was found on C. albicans biofilm formation.
