DNA Probe Identification of Bacteria Colonizing Internal Surfaces of the Implant‐Abutment Interface: A Preliminary Study
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Currently, there is limited knowledge concerning the specific genus and species of bacteria that may colonize internal surfaces of the implant-abutment interface (IAI) of two-stage dental implants. The purpose of this study was to use DNA probe analysis to identify those periodontopathic bacteria that may inhabit the internal surfaces and healing abutment screw-threads of the IAI of dental implants in...
