Abstract

Root form dental implants have a high success rate and are commonly used for replacement of missing teeth, however failures occasionally occur, such implants must be removed. Like teeth, dental implants also establish microflora soon after placement and stable implants showed no significant shifts in the composition, whereas failing implants showed presence of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. This article reviews the microflora associated with dental implants.
