Biofilm removal from Difficult-to-Reach places via secondary cavitation within a constrained geometry mimicking a Periodontal/Peri-Implant pocket

Biofilm removal from Difficult-to-Reach places via secondary cavitation within a constrained geometry mimicking a Periodontal/Peri-Implant pocket

Biofilm removal from the apical region of the periodontal or peri-implant pocket, which is very difficult to achieve with mechanical instruments, is a major unresolved issue in dentistry. Here, we propose the use of photoacoustically induced streaming and secondary cavitation to achieve superior cle...
