Specific Features of the Oral Microbiocenosis in Patients Treated with Different Types and Materials of Dental Prostheses

Abstract

The composition of oral microbiocenosis plays a decisive role in the long-term success of dental prosthetic treatment. The present study aimed to analyze the qualitative and quantitative composition of oral microflora in patients using different types and materials of dental prostheses. The study included 80 patients divided into four groups depending on the prosthesis material and type. Comprehensive microbiological, clinical, and hygienic assessments were conducted to determine the relationship between prosthesis characteristics and the microbial composition of the oral cavity. Results demonstrated a significant variation in microbial profiles between groups, highlighting the influence of prosthetic material and hygiene index on microbial colonization. The study emphasizes the importance of material biocompatibility and oral hygiene in maintaining a balanced microbiocenosis and preventing prosthetic-related complications.
