Abstract

Dental implants are considered the gold standard treatment modality for the replacement of missing teeth. Implants made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and zirconia are used by clinicians worldwide. The major drawback to dental implants is their high susceptibility to biologic complications, primarily of an infective nature. Implant surfaces are rough and are highly prone to biofilm formation since they are constantly exposed to physiologic fluids intra-orally. Microbial colonisation on biofilms can result in peri-implantitis with eventual failure of the implant and prostheses. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive outlook on the various strategies used to manage the formation of biofilms around dental implants.
