The microbiota associated with successful or failing osseointegrated titanium implants

Abstract

Abstract In this study the microbiota associated with oral endosteal titanium hollow cylinder implants (ITI) was studied using microscopic, immunochemical and cultural methods. Samples from 5 edentulous patients with successfully incorporated implants serving as abutments for overdentures for more than one year were compared with samples from 7 patients with clinically failing implants. Unsuccessful sites were characterized by pocket probing depths of 6 mm or more, suppuration and visible loss of alveolar bone around the implant as visualized on radiographs. These sites harbored a complex microbiota with a large proportion of Gram‐negative anaerobic rods. Black‐pigmented Bacteroides and Fusobacterium spp. were regularly found. Spirochetes, fusiform bacteria as well as motile and curved rods were a common feature in the darkfield microscopic specimens of these sites. Control sites in the same patients harbored small amounts of bacteria. The predominant morphotype was coccoid cells. Spirochetes were not present, fusiform bacteria, motile and curved rods were found infrequently and in low numbers. The microbiota in control sites in unsuccessful patients and in site in successful patients were very similar. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that “periimplantitis” be regarded as a site specific infection which yields many features in common with chronic adult periodontitis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
