New Micro-Robots Can Break Apart and Remove Biofilm or Plaque From a Tooth
6th September 2019
team of engineers, dentists, and biologists from the University of Pennsylvania developed a microscopic robotic cleaning crew.
With two types of robotic systems one designed to work on surfaces and the other to operate inside confined spaces the scientists showed that robots with catalytic activity could ably destroy biofilms, sticky amalgamations of bacteria enmeshed in a protective scaffolding.
I’ve been waiting for this.
