Targeting Oral Biofilms: Comparative In Vitro Evaluation of Commercial Dental Antiseptics Against Clinical and Reference Microbial Strains
> 0.05). HybenX showed the highest antimicrobial efficacy, while chlorhexidine-based products demonstrated consistent activity. Antibiofilm inhibition exceeded 80% for several strains. Dental antiseptics exhibit significantly different antimicrobial and antibiofilm profiles, highlighting the importance of appropriate product selection in oral biofilm control.
