Publication: The consistent application of hydrogen peroxide controls biofilm growth and removes Vermamoeba vermiformis from multi-kingdom in-vitro dental unit water biofilms

The dental unit is an important part of the dentist's toolbox for providing dental care. In this investigation, a BioFlux shear flow system was used to visualize the anti-amoebal effect of hydrogen peroxide. The investigators found that a daily treatment with a low dose of hydrogen peroxide reduced Leginoella and Vermamoeba vermiformis load as well as detachment of the trophozoite from the V. vermiformis amoeba.
