The effect on initial biofilm formation is yet unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of cerium(III)chloride (50%CeCl\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) pretreatment of hydroxyapatite (HA) discs on subsequent growth of an initial 3 species caries-biofilm.
