Fürst, Mirjam M; Salvi, Giovanni Edoardo; Lang, Niklaus Peter; Persson, Rigmor (2006). Immediate bacterial colonization of titanium implants. In: Pan European Federation of IADR (PEF 2006). Dublin Ireland. September 13-16, 2006.
Background: The information on bacterial colonization immediately after dental implant insertion is limited. Aims: (1) to assess the early colonization on titanium implants immediately post placement through the first12 post-surgical weeks , (2) to compare the microflora at interproximal subgingival implant and adjacent tooth sites. Material and Methods: Subgingival plaque samples from implant and neighbouring teeth were studied by checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization before, 30 min. after implant placement , 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weerks after surgery. Results: Comparing bacterial loads at implant sites between 30 min. after placement with one week data showed that only the levels of V.parvula (p<0.05) differed with higher loads at week 1. Week 12 data demonstrated significantly higher bacterial loads for 15/40 species at tooth sites compared to pre-surgery (p < values varying between 0.05 and 0.01). Between immediately post-surgery and week 12 at implant sites 29/40 species were more commonly found at week 12. Included among these bacteria at implant sites were P.gingivalis (p< 0.05), T.forsythia, (p < 0.01), and T denticola (p<0.001). Immediately post-surgery 5.9% of implants, and 26.2% of teeth and at week 12, 15.0 % of implants, and 39.1% of teeth harbored S.aureus. Comparing tooth and implant sites, significantly higher bacterial loads were found at tooth sites for 27/40 species at the 30 minutes after placement interval. This difference increased to 35/40 species at week 12. Conclusions: The colonization of bacteria occurs within 30 minutes. Colonization patterns differed between implants and tooth surfaces.
