Abstract

Background: Biofilm development complications are common in implantology, accounting for one-quarter of all infections each year.To prevent these bacterial biofilms from forming, it is critical to investigate and measure bacteria adhesion to various surfaces.The current in vitro investigation aims at comparing PEEK and PEKK biofilm formation abilities for the use of these materials as alternatives to dental titanium and zirconia as conventional implant materials.
Materials and methods: Alloy material—titanium grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), ceramic material—yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP), polymer material—PEEK, and polymer material—PEKK (n=48) were investigated. The testing samples were inoculated with the prepared broth suspension, and were incubated at 37 °C for 48hrs.After incubation, the colonies were counted using a digital colony counter and the results were recorded as colony forming units/ml (cfu/ml). Samples were also tested for surface topography and contact angle before microbial study. The data was analyzed with paired t-test and one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s honest significant difference (HSD) tests to compare replicate mean values between different dental material groups in each condition.
Results: The biofilm formation of the Ti-6Al-4V, regardless of the culture times or types of bacteria (S. mutans or E fecalis), was significantly higher than those of the other testing materials along with the value of surface roughness (p<0.05).
Conclusion: When compared to titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) and zirconia-based ceramic materials(Y-TZP), PEKK and PEEK were much less conducive to biofilm formation, PEKK showing less adhesion than PEEK and hence can be used as alternative implant materials in aspect of biofilm formation.
