Cariogenic Streptococcus mutans accelerates the crevice corrosion of 316L stainless steel in simulated oral environment.

Metallic materials used in oral applications are simultaneously exposed to microbial colonization and crevices. Understanding the synergistic effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and crevice corrosion is essential to ensure the lon…
