In vitro study of measures to control microbial colonization in the internal chamber of the implant and the implant-abutment system

Conclusiones: Se observó una disminución significativa en la cantidad de UFC en los grupos experimentales respecto al grupo control, lo que determina la ventaja de utilizar este tipo de antimicrobianosAbstract. Objective: To determine biofilm control measures in the internal chamber of the implant through an in vitro test. Method: Different antimicrobial agents were selected and placed in the chambers of three groups of implants. After seven days, we immersed them in a microbial suspension for incubation. We collected, cultured and incubated the samples from the chambers of each study group. Results: We detected a filtration of microorganisms into the internal chamber in all the groups of implants studied. This resulted in a higher count of colony-forming units (CFU) in the control group, whereas in the experimental groups we identified a significant reduction in the CFU count. Conclusions: We observed a significant decrease in the number of CFU in the experimental groups in relation to the control group, which determines the advantage of using this type of antimicrobials
