Abstract:	The main objective of this study was to constitute a collection of bacterial and fungal trunks isolated from dental plaque and to study the artificial developed biofilms on dental alloys used in oral implantology. Dental plaque specimens were collected from 40 patients in duplicates. The analysis of bacterial diversity of dental plaque samples was realized with: optic microscope, scanning electron microscope, determination of bacterial loading, identification of the most important bacterial species and genus. After that, were tested the pathogenicity and the virulent status and also the resistance of the cells with no adherence and of the cells included in artificial developed biofilms on dental alloys often used in oral implantology. Selected materials were: noble alloys (gold-palladium gold-platinum), seminoble alloys (silver-palladium), stainless alloys (cobalt-chromium, nickel-chromium alloys) titanium and titanium alloys. The confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed a very complex and highly organized architecture of dental plaque dense masses of microorganisms embedded in a microbial matrix. The qualitative analysis of microorganisms in dental plaque by direct optic examination of Gram-stained smears showed a great diversity of morphological types in 82,5% of cases, with the constant presence of micellian hyphae, the rest of 17,5% being monomorphous. Two non-cultivable spirochetae were present in 12,5% of cases. The quantitative analysis of the dental plaque revealed comparative levels of microbial densities (from 2,4x102 to 6,8x103 CFU/ml). Out of the total number of 50 microbial strains recovered from the analyzed specimens, 50% exhibited ability to adhere to different dental alloys (inert substratum) used in oral implantology.
