description | Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, providing an effective solution for the replacement of missing teeth. However, the long-term success of dental implants can be compromised by the development of biofilms on their surfaces. Biofilms are complex microbial communities embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix, and they play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various oral diseases, including peri-implantitis. This article aims to explore the relationship between dental implant roughness and biofilm formation, shedding light on the mechanisms by which surface characteristics influence microbial colonization and subsequent biofilm development. Understanding these interactions will aid in the development of improved implant surfaces and preventive strategies to enhance long-term implant success. |
