Evaluation of Streptococcus oralis adhesion and biofilm formation on laser-processed titanium
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021 To prevent implant-associated infections, surface modifications need to be developed that prevent bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation. In the present study, titanium surfaces were processed by nanosecond-pulsed laser ablation to generate a ...
