What is it about?
Background: Titanium (TI) and yttria stabilized-zirconia oxide (YSZ) are dental materials commonly utilized at the soft-tissue interface surrounding dental implants. The influence of these surfaces on bacterial adhesion and biofilm development may affect clinical performance and patient susceptibility to inflammatory peri-implant disease.

Why is it important?
Under the conditions described, biofilms grown on TI or YSZ appeared significantly less complex than those formed on HA.
Perspectives
The presence of intact skin and mucosal barriers to protect against invading microbial pathogens ranks among the most fundamental requirements for human health.
