The anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activities of cationic amphiphilic methacrylate polymers against cariogenic bacterium S. mutans were investigated. Cationic homopolymer PE0 and copolymer PE31 containing 31 mole% of ethyl methacrylate were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. These polymers displayed bactericidal activity towards S. mutans and prevented biofilm formation by killing the planktonic bacteria. At a concentration of 1000 μg/mL when incubated for 2 hours the polymers reduced more than 80% of biofilm biomass. When the polymer assay solution with the biofilm was vigorously mixed using a pipette for 30 seconds, more than 50% of biofilm mass was removed at a polymer concentration of 250 μg/mL. Chlorhexidine and a cationic surfactant failed to reduce the biofilm mass at the same concentration. PE0 was the most effective in removing biofilm and did not show any significant cytotoxicity to human gingival fibroblast and periodontal ligament stem cells when incubated for 10 minutes.
