title: [The microbial colonization of implant elements made of plastics and titanium].
abstract: 12 edentate subjects wearing lower complete dentures stabilized by an IMZ-implant-supported Dolder bar took part in the experiment. Elastic (POM) and titanium connection parts were alternatingly inserted. After the removal of 24 POM and titanium elements from each of the patients, a qualitative analysis of the microbial flora was performed. Except for actinomycetes, aerobic as well as anaerobic microorganisms were found less frequently with titanium than with POM elements.
