Development and viability of biofilms grown on experimental abutments mimicking dental implants: An in vivo model

Abstract: Background To determine whether an experimental abutment mimicking the macro- and microstructure of a dental implant is a suitable method for recovering biofilm, and to describe the features of biofilms formed around such abutments on healthy implants. Material and Methods Experimental abutments were used in 15 patients without peri-implant diseases. After 14 days’ absence of dental hygiene in this area, the abutments were retrieved and analyzed through confocal laser s… Show more

“…Moreover, a removable in vivo abutments was developed that mimicked dental implants. 24 To address in vitro and in vivo problems, a novel human plasma biofilm model was developed for studding the impact of probiotics on pathogens that mimicked a biofilm-challenged human wound milieu. 25…”

“…Dental implants are generally made of titanium or zirconium. Areas of these dental abutments accessible to the oral microbiota are globally covered within a short time period with extensive biofilms after the lack of oral hygiene [ 131 , 132 ]. This can lead to inflammatory lesions that may develop into peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis [ 20 , 133 ].…”

“…CHX is a commonly used topical agent for control and prevention of biofilm formation owing to its high substantivity, bactericidal activity and broad spectrum of action ( 9 ). However, owing to the implants’ macrostructure and surface characteristics, the biofilm content on an implant surface can be quite different from that of natural tooth surface ( 10 , 11 ). The implant surface has been shown to favor the presence of pathological bacteria even in the absence of peri-implant disease ( 10 ).…”
