In this study, the effect of sodium hypochlorite on biofilm removal was evaluated using three bacterial strains; Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus mutans, and Yersinia enterocolitica. For maximum biofilm removal in 10 min, sodium hypochlorite is required at 1.65, 0.83, and 0.41 g/l for A. hydrophila, S. mutans, and Y. enterocolitica, respectively. Resistance to sodium hypochlorite was increased by the biofilms of all three tested strains, while the change in bactericidal activity according to sodium hypochlorite concentration was strain-specific. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effective concentration of sodium hypochlorite required for hygiene, considering that higher concentrations are needed to remove biofilms than to kill cells.
