Comparison of microbiological parameters in the early and late stages of prosthetics on dental implants

Abstract

On patients with installed dental implants and having an implant-abutment connection system using a fixing screw, the microbiological status of the oral cavity was studied in the dynamics of observation with and without transition of the platform to the abutment. All patients were divided into 2 groups: 1 group consisted of 9 patients with an implant-abutment system without platform switching; Group 2 consisted of 10 patients with a platform-to-abutment transition element.
The material for the microbiological study was a biomaterial from the soft tissue mucosa around the abutment. The study of the dynamics of the microbial flora in patients with the transition of the platform on the abutment relative to the indicators before prosthetics, showed mainly a decrease in the quantitative indicators of representatives of both its stabilizing and aggressive components.
