The maxillary posterior teeth of nine rhesus monkeys were treated with a pulsating water savage instrument at 70 psi (high setting). Electron microscopic studies of pre- and post-lavage plaque samples showed that water jet devices as used in this experiment either removed the plaque completely or caused irreversible damage to the microbial forms in the plaque matrix.
