Effect of treatments on a bacterial survival and b biofilm formation. In a, VCM and Ag significantly reduced the bacterial cell count over time (n = 10 discs). In b, the total biofilm volume in the analyzed area in the Ag-HA VCM groups significantly decreased over time (n = 12 sections from 4 discs). Significant differences among three groups at 48 and 96 h and comparisons of groups at 48 and 96 h: †p < 0.01, **p < 0.001
