Abstract
The persistence of bacteria in the root canal system is the primary cause of recurrent apical periodontitis. The adaptability of residual bacteria to changing environmental conditions is a key survival strategy of biofilms, often leading to endodontic treatment failure. DJK-5 is a protease-resistant, broad-spectrum D-enantiomeric peptide that degrades or prevents the accumulation of guanosine penta- and tetraphosphates, which are important for biofilm formation. We evaluated the effects of primary antimicrobial agents and nutrient conditions on the recovery, metabolism, diversity, and composition of oral biofilms, and investigated how these factors affect the efficacy of DJK-5 and chlorhexidine (CHX) during re-exposure. Primary irrigants and nutrient conditions significantly influenced biofilm recovery, metabolic activity, diversity, and composition. Biofilm recovery was slower in nutrient-poor groups compared to nutrient-rich ones, and nutrient availability had the greatest effect on shaping both the diversity and composition of the biofilms. Water and DJK-5 groups showed similar biofilm diversity trends, while CHX generally led to lower diversity. Results indicate that primary irrigants and nutrient conditions significantly impact biofilm composition, diversity, and recovery. However, these changes did not compromise DJK-5's effectiveness in killing of biofilm microbes during re-exposure of recovered biofilms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
