Novel methods for debridement of dental implant surfaces contaminated by a dental biofilm

牙科植入物正变得越来越普遍地被用来替换缺失的牙齿。这一过程是通过骨融合到植入物上进行的。然而，随着时间的推移，种植体周围的骨丢失和炎症可能会发生。这种反应可能会在几年后发生，并可能导致植入物最终丢失。主要的致病因素是患者的敏感性和植入物表面斑块的形成。这个博士学位的目的是了解种植表面的斑块是如何生长的，以及如何去除它。

Dental implants are becoming more commonly used to replace missing teeth. This process occurs by the bone fusing to the implant. However over time, bone loss and inflammation around a dental implant can occur. This response can occur after some years and can lead to eventual loss of the implant. The major contributing factors are patient susceptibility and the formation of plaque on the surface of the implant. The aims of this PhD are to understand how plaque grows on the implant surface and how it can be removed.
