THE IMPORTANCE OF THE IMPLANT-ABUTMENT CONNECTION AND ITS TIGHTNESS FOR SUCCESSFUL ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT

Objectives: One of the main reasons for the occurrence of peri-implantitis and the lack of successful osseointegration around the installed dental implant is the contamination of inflammation-causing bacteria in the microspace at the implant-abutment junction. Therefore, the design of the implant-abutment connection is of great importance for the long life of the prosthetic restoration supported by a dental implant. Materials and methods: 18 "Implant.Uz" two-stage dental implants were randomly selected for 3 series of laboratory studies for contamination with St.aureus, Str.pyogenes and a suspension of these microbes St.aureus and Str.pyogenes. The abutments were connected to the implants under sterile conditions with an approximate torque of 25 N/cm.
