Succession of oral bacterial colonizers on dental implant materials: An in vitro biofilm model.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Oral bacterial adhesion on dental implant materials has been extensively studied using in vitro systems but has yielded results restricted to in vitro growth patterns due to limitations in species selection, sustained fastidious anaerobe growth, and mixed culture longevity. The aim of this study was to develop an oral bacterial biofilm model consisting of colonizers representative of the oral microbiome exhibiting temporal shifts characteristic of plaque development and maturation in vivo.

Methods

Streptococcus oralis, Actinomyces naeslundii, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Veillonella parvula, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Porphyromonas gingivalis were grown in monoculture prior to combination in mixed culture. Commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and yttria-s
