Confocal laser scanning microscopy images of S. mutans biofilms. (a) The three-dimensional reconstruction of the S. mutans biofilms incubated for 1 day on control and bleached slices and the correspondent distribution of EPS and bacteria of the reconstructed biofilms. (b) The three-dimensional reconstruction of the S. mutans biofilms incubated for 3 days on control and bleached slices and the correspondent distribution of EPS and bacteria of the reconstructed biofilms.
