Abstract
Aim of the study: The purpose of the study was to compare presence of periopathogenic bacteria in sites intended for implantation therapy in dentistry with success of this therapy.
Material and methods: Fifty-four patients underwent implantation therapy by titanium implants from BTLock company (Italy). Before dental implantation therapy started, saliva samples from implantation site were collected. From these samples, microbial DNA was isolated by DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (QIAGEN). Presence of periopathogenic bacteria Tannerella forsythensis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Capnocytophaga ochracea was determined by qualitative PCR using periopathogenic bacteria specific primers.
Results: Prevotella nigrescens was found in 64.3 % of patients, Prevotella intermedia was found in 28.6 % of patients, Tannerella forsythensis was found in 25 % of patients, Porphyromonas gingivalis was found in 14.3 % of patients, Capnocytophaga ochracea was found in 12.5 % of patients and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans was found in 1.8 % of patients. Implantation therapy was successful in all patients.
Conclusion: Presence of periopathogenic bacteria in implantation sites was common in patients undergoing implantation therapy. Despite this fact, there was no problem with implant healing and implantation therapy was successful in all patients.
