How does ultrasonic cavitation remove dental bacterial biofilm?

•Biofilm is cleaned through ultrasonic cavitation bubbles contacting the surface.•Ultrasonic scalers produce chaotic shape oscillations which disrupt biofilm.•Cavitation clouds and acoustic streaming also contribute to biofilm disruption. Bacterial biofilm accumulation is problematic in many areas,...
