Title
Cariogenicity of soluble starch in oral in vitro biofilm and experimental rat caries studies: a comparison.

Abstract
Common belief suggests that starch is less cariogenic than sugar; however, the related literature is quite controversial. We aimed to compare cariogenic and microbiological effects of soluble starch in both a standard animal model and an oral biofilm system, and to assess the possible substitution of the animal model.
