Biofilm and Dental Biomaterials

Abstract: All treatment involving the use of biomaterials in the body can affect the host in positive or negative ways. The microbiological environment in the oral cavity is affected by the composition and shape of the biomaterials used for oral restorations. This may impair the patients’ oral health and sometimes their general health as well. Many factors determine the composition of the microbiota and the formation of biofilm in relation to biomaterials such as, surface roughness, surface energy and chemical compositi… Show more

“…Previous studies have assessed the role of biomaterials in the regulation of the oral microbiota [58]. As stated by Antonelli et al [59], the simplest surfaces for bacteria to colonize are hard ones as mucous membranes tend to scale off and, therefore, do not guarantee a stable adhesion.…”

“…The only exception to this is the tongue, which is highly colonized even if it is a mucosal surface because of the irregular surfaces of papillae [60]. Consequently, the introduction of a biomaterial into this open system creates a further retentive surface on which bacterial species are able to reproduce and where there is an increased difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene [58]. As revealed by the Øilo and Bakken [58] literature review, the presence of biomaterials results in an increase in plaque and alterations in the oral microbiota.…”

“…All bracket samples were below a threshold value of Ra = 0.2 µm, where the formation of biofilm is not substantially influenced by the surface roughness [8, 52, 62]. The differences in biofilm formation can therefore be attributed solely to the type of layer.…”

“…Biofilms are found in healthy individuals and are usually harmless, consisting of predominantly commensal bacteria. However, if they are allowed to accumulate, the composition may change, allowing pathogens to become more prevalent (Øilo & Bakken, ). Depending on the location, caries, gingivitis, and subsequently periodontitis or peri‐implantitis may occur.…”
