Abstract(s)
Dental treatments using dental implants have been well documented over the past 40 years and with great success. The
dental implant installed in the place of missing teeth should always involve proper forecasting by the dentist. Namely, it is important to
know the microbiome surrounding the implant, from its planning till final rehabilitation. The exact time of microbiome formation, as
well as microorganisms involved, are essential for the proper implementation and success of the implant. However, internal
contaminations of the rehabilitated implants, the extracellular components of microorganisms, such as endotoxins, have a huge
influence on implant success. In addition, it is also very important the knowledge concerning implants surfaces and associated
microorganisms. This study conducted a literature review on the oral microbiome and its relationship with the peri-implant infection,
with the discussion of several classical and current studies. Although it can be concluded that the peri-implant microbiome is
characterized by the microbiome present before dental implant placing, more studies are required to better elucidate the planning and
the longevity of dental implant treatment.
