The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between biofilm and peri-implant disease, with an emphasis on the types of implant abutment surfaces. Individuals with periodontal disease typically have a large amount of pathogenic microorganisms in the periodontal pocket. If the individuals lose their teeth, these microorganisms remain viable inside the mouth and can directly influence peri-implant microbiota. Metal implants offer a suitable solution, but similarly, these remaining bacteria can adhere on abutment implant surfaces, induce peri-implantitis causing potential destruction of the alveolar bone near to the implant threads and cause the subsequent loss of the implant. Studies have demonstrated differences in biofilm formation on dental materials and these variations can be associated with both physical and chemical characteristics of the surfaces. In the case of partially edentulous patients affected by periodontal disease, the ideal type of implant abutments utilized should be one that adheres the least or negligible amounts of periodontopathogenic bacteria. Therefore, it is of clinically relevance to know how the bacteria behave on different types of surfaces in order to develop new materials and/or new types of treatment surfaces, which will reduce or inhibit adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms, and, thus, restrict the use of the abutments with indication propensity for bacterial adhesion.

Introduction: Thermoplastic polymers have many potential uses in medicine and dentistry as an alternative to the commonly used titanium. Due to several advantages of these materials, metal-free restorations are performing an important role in current medical therapies. The aim of this review was to evaluate Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as an alternative material to titanium in medical and dental clinical cases. Methods:Original scientific articles published in Medline-Pubmed database were electronically searched to accomplish the objectives of the study. Only articles published in English were included from 2000 to present using a variety of keywords in combination. The studies relevant to our review were analysed and compared. Conclusions:The literature suggests that PEEK offers an alternative to titanium, especially in cases of orthopaedics and trauma. Its properties make it an interesting material in oral implantology to be performed with CAD-CAM. Further studies are required to obtain sufficient scientific evidence to enable its uses as a permanent material.

“…The results were of 12.1% and 19.3% for zirconia oxide and titanium, respectively . Another study analyzing biofilm formation, reported a higher bacterial mean count over titanium samples than zirconia samples . Although bacterial count was not evaluated in the present evaluation, our clinical observations and results of gingival and plaque indexes evidenced significantly low plaque accumulation.…”

Objective Limited clinical evidence has been reported in dental literature regarding zirconia dental implants. The aim of the present retrospective consecutive case series was to evaluate the clinical outcome of zirconia dental implants with 1 to 5 years of follow‐up. Clinical considerations The clinical outcome of 24 implants in 12 consecutive patients (male 5, female 7) with a mean age of 55 years (range 27‐86) is reported. Radiographic crestal bone level was assessed by the use of “ImageJ” software program. Gingival and plaque indices were recorded at baseline and latest follow‐up. Conclusion The overall success rate of zirconia implants was 92%. Within the limitations of the present clinical evaluation, zirconia implants provided excellent clinical results and esthetic outcomes. A mean periimplant bone loss of 0.3 mm was measured in 33.3% of the implants and 66.7% were not affected by radiographic detectable periimplant bone loss. Two implants in two patients failed. Low gingival and plaque indices were predominant values for both interim and final restorations. The apparent less affinity to plaque accumulation may favor soft tissue health around zirconia dental implants and decrease the risk of inflammation or infection. Zirconia dental implant merits further investigation. Clinical significance Zirconia dental implants are emerging as an option in clinical practice of implant dentistry providing stable clinical results and esthetic outcomes.
