When is the antibacterial effect of the MDPB molecule inactivated in the Protect Bond system?
The molecule will be immobilized but not inactivated. After polymerization, the molecule is bonded to the applied site and therefore immobilized as a safety measure from entering the body systemically. At the polymerised site, however, this molecule is held in place and continues to be antibacterial when further microbial agents come in contact with. In other words, the pyridinium group of the MDPB molecule is still able to produce an electrical imbalance in the bacterial cell wall of bacteria that meet the restoration site.
