Efficacy of a new coating of implant-abutment connections in reducing bacterial loading: an in vitro studyDOI: 10.11138/orl/2017.10.1.001 Keywords: implant-abutment connection, antimicrobial siloxane coating, peri-implantitis Abstract: Titanium is the gold standard for dental implants, since it has demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and osseointegration properties. The rate of osseointegration is however affected by the surface morphology and peri-implant infections may affect fixture and the long-term osseointegration outcome. Thus chemical composition of a coating at the implant-abutment junction (IAJ) surface is expected to play a key role in preventing bacterial infection
