Submicron diamond-assisted irrigation enhances apical biofilm removal under sonic and ultrasonic activation: An ex vivo study.
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Background/purpose: ) biofilms. Materials and methods: tests, and Bonferroni correction. Results: ≤ 0.002). Conclusion: SMD improved apical biofilm removal, whereas no statistically significant additional reduction in CFU counts was demonstrated, indicating a region-specific mechanical adjunctive role rather than a general improvement.
