چکیده

Osseointegrated dental implants play an important role in restorative dentistry. However, plaque accumulation may cause inflammatory reactions around the implants, sometimes leading to implant failure. In this in vivo study the influence of two physical hard coatings on bacterial adhesion was examined in comparison with a pure titanium surface. Thin glass sheets coated with titanium nitride (TiN), zirconium nitride (ZrN) or pure titanium were mounted on removable intraoral splints in two adults. After 60 h of intraoral exposure, the biofilms were analyzed to determine the number of bacteria, the types of bacteria [by applying single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP analysis) of 16S rRNA genes], and whether or not the bacteria were active (by SSCP analysis of 16S rRNA). The results showed that bacterial cell counts were higher on the pure titanium-coated glass sheets than on the glass sheets coated with TiN or ZrN. The lowest number of bacterial cells was present on theZrN-coated glass. However, the metabolic activity (RNA fingerprints) of bacteria on TiN- and ZrN-coated glass sheets seemed to be lower than the activity of bacteria on the titanium-coated surfaces, whereas SSCP fingerprints based on 16S rDNA revealed that the major 16S bands are common to all of the fingerprints, independently of the surface coating.

In vivo and in vitro biofilm formation on two different titanium implant surfaces.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present in vitro and human in vivo study was twofold: first, to evaluate the initial biofilm formation on different titanium implant surfaces by means of two highly sensitive fluorescent techniques and, second, to correlate these findings to different surface properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo biofilm formation was induced on purely machined (Pt) and on sand-b...

Effect of material characteristics and/or surface topography on biofilm development.

BACKGROUND From an ecological viewpoint, the oral cavity, in fact the oro-pharynx, is an 'open growth system'. It undergoes an uninterrupted introduction and removal of both microorganisms and nutrients. In order to survive within the oro-pharyngeal area, bacteria need to adhere either to the soft or hard tissues in order to resist shear forces. The fast turn-over of the oral lining epithelia (...

Correlation between DMFT index andoccurrence of Lactobacillus spp. in the oral cavity

The human oral cavity includes different bacterial community. Advantage anddisadvantage of these bacteria depend on their ability to adhere to the toothsurfaces. Some microbiota could cause oral disease, however, some of them inhibitformation of biofilm on teeth and therefore prevent dental caries. The present studywas undertaken to investigate on the DMFT index (D: decay, M: missing, F: fillin...

Oral Streptococci Biofilm Formation on Different Implant Surface Topographies

The establishment of the subgingival microbiota is dependent on successive colonization of the implant surface by bacterial species. Different implant surface topographies could influence the bacterial adsorption and therefore jeopardize the implant survival. This study evaluated the biofilm formation capacity of five oral streptococci species on two titanium surface topographies. In vitro biof...
