| Research Abstract |
The evaluation method of the effectiveness of biofilm removal was innovated and fundamental bases of researches and applications of novel functional strings were developed. Clinical application of novel functional strings, such as dental floss or swab sticks, revealed the high performance of biofilm removal and high biological compatibility with human oral mucosa. These results indicated the possibility of wide ranges of clinical application of novel functional strings, not only for oral hygiene but also for general medical use. The debridement method by using novel functional strings might be one of the best cleaning methods for every surface of human bodies, including soft and hard tissues.
