Effect of Antibacterial agents for treatment of peri-implantitis in vitro against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

Bacteria present on implant surface may lead to an inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa, and, if left untreated, the inflammation spreads apically and results in bone loss, a process that has been named peri-implantitis (Garcia et al., 1998). So, the removal of bacterial biofilms seems to be a prerequisite in the therapy of peri-implant infections (Schwarz et al., 2005). Periodontal diseases Prevention is often based on plaque control. The aim of traditional dentistry is based on the therapy of oral diseases. During the previous studies, great progress has been made in the field of oral microbiology, particularly as it relates to diagnosis.
