Bacterial microleakage at the abutment‐implant interface, in vitro study

Introduction In implant rehabilitation, a microspace is created at the abutment‐implant interface (AII). Previous research has shown that oral microbiome can proliferate in this microspace and affect periimplant tissues, causing inflammation in peri‐implant tissues. Preventing microbial leakages through the AII is therefore an important goal in implantology. Objective To determine the presence of marginal bacterial microleakage at the AII...
