Abstract

The article describes a study of the microflora of the cavities at the dental implant-abutment interface. The present study also looked at quantitative and qualitative composition of the microflora inhabiting dental implant-abutment interface. Based on the findings of our research, we concluded that both microorganisms and their metabolic products migrate into the interior of the implant set. Therefore, we assume that bacterial microleakage can occur at the dental implantabutment interface into the peri-implant tissues. The clinical significance of the dental implant-abutment gap between the implant and the abutment is often ignored by researchers and health care practitioners; however, infection in this area can lead to persistent focal infection in the mouth, and to inflammation in the peri-implant tissues. The authors conclude that dental implant-abutment gap has an impact on osseointegration and the subsequent inflammatory response in the peri-implant tissues.

Keywords
