Abstract
biofilm, a reduction was observed after incubation for 4 h, and it remained reduced after 8 h on BGF18 specimens. All biofilm matrices seemed to be thicker on BGF18 surface than on titanium surfaces. BGF18 showed significant anti-biofilm activity in comparison with Ti in the initial periods of biofilm formation; however, there was extensive biofilm after incubation for 48 h.
