In-vitro study of a new treatment for controlling bacterial adhesion to titanium and titanium-alloy dental implants

摘要

The development of new implant dentistry materials allowing to control bacterial adhesion and proliferation is an extremely topical issue in modern rehabilitation dentistry. Placing an osseointegrated implant may lead to the bacterial colonisation of the transmucosal portion of the implant, with the resulting progressive loss of contact between implant and soft tissues. As a result, there can be pathogen aggression of mineralised tissue, and impaired osseointegration, and even failure.
