Assessment of Microgap and Bacterial Leakage of Two Types of Internal Implant-Abutment Union.
Journal of Pharmacy & Bioallied Sciences 2024 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: The current research was done to assess microbial seepage of two types of internal implant-abutment connections.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty dental implants are categorized into two groups. Group A fixtures with an internal hexagonal geometry and group B fixtures with a tri-lobe internal connection. All implant-abutment assemblies underwent a three-week incubation period at 37°C in sterile tubes containing 5 mL of Staphylococcus aureus broth culture. Through the use of Gram stain and biochemical processes, the resultant colonies were recognized.
RESULTS: The mean Log10 colony forming unit (CFU) in group A was 8.4 and in group B was 7.2. The variation between both groups was found to be considerable ( P < 0.05). Microgap was more in group B compared to group A.
CONCLUSION: Bacteria may infiltrate the small area between the implant and the abutment. Compared to dental implant fixtures with a tri-lobe internal connection, there was a noticeably higher Log10 CFU in dental implant fixtures with an internal hexagonal geometry.
