Table 2 Inhibition percentages of Staphylococcus spp. biofilm biomass determined by coating with R89BS titanium discs with three different commercial surface morphologies: computer numerical control machined and polished (M&P), resorbable-blast texturing blasted (RBT), and laser-Lok® micro-treaded (L-L)

Surface morphology | Biomass inhibition (%) Median (first quartile; third quartile) | |
|---|---|---|
S. aureus | S. epidermidis | |
M&P | 97.8 (97.6; 98.4) | 62.4 (57.2; 63.8) |
RBT | 93.5 (91.8; 94.2) | 66.5 (51.7; 76.6) |
L-L | 91.3 (91.2; 92.2) | 78.1 (73.5; 78.8) |
