Comparative Analysis of Biofilm Formation on Materials Used for the Fabrication of Implant Supported Prostheses

BACKGROUND: Zirconia and other dental pottery, heat-restored polymethyl methacrylate, titanium and other metal amalgams, or a mix of these materials are utilized to fix inserts. It is important to choose a material that is resistant to bacterial colonization for implant-supported prostheses, but durability and aesthetics are important factors as well. AIM: Biofilm generation on materials used in implant-supported dental prosthesis manufacturing was an objective of this investigation. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this study, 90 discs were prepared. These discs were divided into three groups: group PMMA, group Y-TZP, and group CP-Ti. Each group consisted of 30 discs. As helpful materials, 30 discs (D = 15 mm, H = 3 mm) each were created from either monetarily unadulterated titanium (CP-Ti), yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (YTZP), or hotness-restored polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The examples were cleaned as per acknowledged practices. The non-contact profilometer (NPFLEX, Bruker, UK) was utilized to survey the surface rougness of each disc, and the outcomes were accounted for as Ra (m). An assortment of gram-negative microbes, including Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Tannerella forsythia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Tannerella albicans, were refined close by cleaned discs produced using heat-relieved PMMA, Y-TZP, or CP-Ti to see which type of biofilm is shaped best. CFU/mL was the unit of estimation (state framing units per milliliter). RESULTS: Y-TZP discs have a substantially higher Ra (349 41 m) than PMMA and CP-Ti discs. Some bacteria that have been associated with peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis may be less prevalent on Y-TZP or CP-Ti discs. Biofilm development must be considered while making implant-supported prostheses using Y-TZP and CP-Ti. CONCLUSION: Y-TZP and CP-Ti are preferred materials for implant-supported prosthesis production because of biofilm development.
