Introduction: Dental implantation is
a process of implanting dental implants into the bone of a patient, in
places where one or more teeth are missing. For successful implantation,
the process of osteointegration has to happen, which means that the
dental implant placed in the bone should create a connection with it.
The success of the osteointegration process depends on several factors,
one of which is a biological modification of the material from which the
implant is made. As a failure, it can occur during peri-implantitis.
Aim: The present study aimed to prove the influence of the
foreign body on osteointegration during dental implantation, that is,
the cause of peri-implantitis. The subject of our research was the
analysis of new, sterile implants and their comparison with fallen, lost
implants
Materials and methods: For this scientific research we used a
scanning electron microscope, which allows a detailed analysis of the
implant surface. The analysis was performed on brand new, as well as on
failed implants. A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a type of
electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning its
surface with a focused beam of electrons.
Results: As a consequence of the deposition of many minerals
(like Mg, and P), a higher wear resistance occurs on the implant
surface. Traces of contaminant Na along with carbon, N, Ca, Al and O
were also detected on the Ti surface of the failed implants, which are
fallen implants.
All these elements negatively affect the implantation success and are
the cause of unsuccessful implant treatment.
Conclusion: Dental implant contamination is a key factor for the
success/failure of implantation. Traces of organic and inorganic
contaminants can be found, despite the implant cleaning process and
surface treatment of Ti, substances such as acid and sand.
