Modeling In Vitro Biofilm–Calculus Formation for Assessing Periodontal Instrumentation and the Forces Applied [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives In vitro models provide valuable insights into treatment options and their effectiveness prior to and alongside clinical evaluation. Such models should be standardized, reproducible, and closely reflect the clinical situation. This study aimed to investigate the removal of subgingival biofilm and calculus by instrumentation, which ...
