The Decontamination Effect of an Oscillating Chitosan Brush Compared With an Ultrasonic <scp>PEEK</scp>‐Tip: An In Vitro Study Using a Dynamic Biofilm Model
In vitro assessment using an anatomical 3D model showed that mechanical decontamination effectively reduced biofilm. The US-PEEK group demonstrated biofilm reduction on the SLA surface, while the OCB group showed a reduction on the machined implant surface. Additionally, the US-PEEK group demonstrated greater efficacy in reducing bacterial numbers.
