| Abstract: |
Prosthodontic therapy on dental implants is one of the solutions for partially and totally edentulous patients. The long-term success directly depends on static and microbiota around implants. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in subgingival aerobic microflora in patients with or without implants as well as evaluate their sensitivity to antibiotics. The investigation consisted of 41 patients. Nineteen patients had inserted implants and twenty-two natural teeth as abutments for fixed bridges. Five different genera of bacteria and one fungus were isolated by smear method from the subgingival areas. The periodont and periimplant area showed great similarity in the genera of microorganisms, despite which Branhamella spp. was found only in patients with implants and Streptococcus spp. and Candida albicans around the teeth. |
