High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Versus Airflow® in Debriding Ti-Attached S. mutans Biofilms
Our findings indicate that both novel HIFU and traditional Airflow® methods were equally effective in removing the S. mutans biofilms from titanium disc surfaces. Further research is needed to explore the clinical application of HIFU in managing peri-implantitis.
