Key Points

Self-propelled mno2 micromotors effectively disrupt and eliminate root-canal bacteria, highlighting promising therapeutic potential.
The combined mechanical disruption and ROS-mediated chemical action of the micromotors led to a significant reduction in biofilm presence.
The innovative design mimics sea urchin architecture, which enhances the micromotors' effectiveness in biofilm eradication.
Results indicate that the synergistic approach may offer a new direction for treating persistent endodontic infections.

Implication

Micromotors show effective eradication of endodontic biofilms, suggesting a novel synergy in biofilm treatment.

Abstract
