Research ArticleOpen accessThe Role of Living, Resident Bacterial Biofilm Populations in the Osseointegration of Oral ImplantsStephen Nelson, Honghua Hu et al.This study presents a human jawbone model which explains bone health, disease and quality and the osseointegration interphase, at the cell level. Curation of 454 pyrosequencing data obtained from 153 bone, serous-effusion and granulation samples taken from 40 patients during two-stage dental implant installation, revealed a 20 phyla jawbone microbiome with total genera of 387. Multivariate statistical ordination of curated … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2023 · 8,251 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessBacterial Biofilm Persistence in Human Jawbone Following Tooth Extraction: Implications of Surgical Debridement and Resident Population-Shift for Oral ImplantsStephen Nelson, Honghua Hu et al.Intra-radicular infection theory assumes that when an infected tooth is extracted, the main source of infection is removed and any residual contaminating bacteria are killed by the immune response, then normal healing ensues. This study investigated whether bacteria and bacterial biofilms persisted in deep bone space following tooth extraction. The study was conducted on two adult male patients seeking dental … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 31 May 2023 · 6,864 accessesView PDF Cite
