Key Points

This research aims to explore how chlorogenic acid affects the formation and maintenance of biofilms by Streptococcus mutans.
Analyzed the effects of chlorogenic acid on biofilm formation in Streptococcus mutans
Investigated various concentrations of chlorogenic acid to determine optimal inhibition levels
Employed experimental assays to measure biofilm viability and structural integrity
Chlorogenic acid significantly reduced biofilm thickness by 45% at the highest concentration (10 mM)
Inhibition mechanisms included disruption of biofilm architecture and metabolic activity
Findings suggest potential therapeutic applications of chlorogenic acid in preventing dental caries.
