Introduction: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the ability of air-powder abrasion to decontaminate dental implants.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-six implants were inoculated with a Streptococcus sanguinis biofilm media in a novel periimplantitis defect model. Six implants served as controls, and 20 implants were disinfected with either the Cavitron JET Plus or the AIR-FLOW PERIO air-powder abrasion units.
