After three minutes, the cavitating jet had removed about a third more plaque than the water jet had, leaving little plaque on the implant at the end of the experi- ment. The cavitating jet left less re- sidual plaque on the apex of the fi xture than on the crestal part. “Conventional methods can- not clean plaques on the surface of dental implants very well, so this new method could give dentists a new tool to better manage these fi xtures which are becoming more common,” said Soyama. Previous research has shown that water fl ow exerts shear stress to remove biofi lm. In addition to this shear effect, the cavitating jet produces considerable force when the bubbles collapse, allowing the removal of biofi lm particles. The re- searchers suggested that the two processes work in synergy to make the cavitating jet superior to the wa- ter jet when cleaning plaque off the irregular surface of dental implants. The study, titled “Removal of oral biofi lm on an implant fi xture by a cavitating jet”, was published in the December issue of the Implant Dentistry journal.
