Oral Microbiota and Dental Implants: an Overview
Keywords:
oral microbiota, relationship, implantsAbstract
Dental implants have revolutionized restorative dentistry, offering a reliable solution for tooth loss. However, their long-term success is closely linked to the health of the surrounding oral microbiota. This article explores the relationship between oral microbiota and dental implants, examining how microbial communities affect implant outcomes, the potential for peri-implant diseases, and strategies for maintaining a healthy oral environment to ensure implant longevity.
