Ultrasound activated silica particles for efficient eradication of dental biofilms

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: biofilms, a common dental bacterium. The ultrasound-activated m-CPC⊂SiO2 nanosystem shows improved antimicrobial activity leading to a 10 000-fold reduction in colony forming units of bacteria compared to treatment with only CPC. This approach is a transformative strategy for controlled and localised delivery of antibiotics for dental and medical applicatons in different clinical settings.
