Development and viability of biofilms grown on experimental abutments mimicking dental implants: An in vivo model.

CONCLUSIONS: This in vivo experimental model allows detailed observation of the extensive plaque growth found on exposed experimental abutments mimicking dental implants when hygiene measures are absent. The biofilm coverage is significantly higher in the supragingival zone than in the subgingival portion.
