Application of bioelectric effect to reduce the antibiotic resistance of subgingival plaque biofilm: An study.

Context: Biofilms are known for their antimicrobial resistance, and so is the subgingival plaque biofilm, the primary etiologic factor for periodontal infections.

Aims: The objective of this study is to investigate if the subgingival plaque biofilm resistance can be reduced using doxycycline in the presence of low-intensity electric field (bioelectric effect).

Settings And Design: The study was an microbiological study.
