- Additional information
- This work was sponsored by Philips Oral healthcare to develop an ""artificial mouth"" model to grow biofilms. CFD was used to predict how jets removes plaque biofilm and was validated with experimental results, thus this is a highly interdisciplinary paper. This work has led to funding with Unilever and Mondelez (in partnership with the BBSRC through the National Biofilm Innovation Centre) to develop methods for screening antimicrobials prior to animal and clinical studies. This work was selected for presentation at “SET FOR BRITAIN 2015” at the House of Commons as well as national and international dental meetings.
