This study aimed to evaluate zirconia dental implant surfaces patterned using Nd:YAG laser or conventional milling techniques against Streptococcus oralis adhesion and biofilm formation. Zirconia discs were subjected surface patterning treatments categorized into four groups: groove texturing by (GM), pore (PM), (GL), Nd: YAG (PL). CECT 907T was cultivated on enriched blood agar plates then transferred a brain–heart infusion modified medium incubated at 37 °C under anaerobic conditions until reaching the exponential growth phase. The bacterial suspension seeded 24-well containing treated discs. viability of bacteria within determined based colony-forming unit (CFU) counts, while total quantified measuring its biomass. A qualitative analysis conducted scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images morphology. statistical multigroup comparisons performed Kruskal–Wallis test with post hoc pairwise comparison, as well Mann Whiney U test, significance set p < 0.05. After both 1 h 24 incubation discs, all groups showed similar results, no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). comparison laser-treated conventionally milled surfaces, grooves versus pores for CFU also revealed 0.05) culture. Biomass quantification 24-h time points results across groups, without differences. When comparing machined in terms biomass, observed Similarly, between groove-patterned pore-patterned difference. patterns did not change formation behavior. Additional studies are recommended expand our knowledge this area.
