Oral Bacteria Counter Using Dielectrophoretic Impedance Measurement: Usefulness and Usage Considerations
The Oral Bacteria Counter may be influenced by disinfectants, viscosity, and electrolytes, leading to potential inaccuracies in bacterial quantification. For accurate bacterial measurements, it is essential to consider these factors and ideally combine the results from the Oral Bacteria Counter with methods such as DR-PCR for more reliable assessment.
