Abstract
The in vitro effects of dextranase on extracellular polysaccharide-producing streptococci grown on autoclaved enamel samples were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. This enzyme was found to be highly effective in dispersing both strains of streptococci when compared with controls.Keywords
