# Bacterial adhesion and microleakage of restorative materials for sealing accessory canals in implant prosthesis

## TL;DR

This study compares how well different materials prevent bacteria from sticking to and leaking through implant prosthesis sealings.

## Contribution

The study identifies guttapercha and light cured acrylic resin as materials with low bacterial adhesion and microleakage in implant prosthesis.

## Key findings

- Guttapercha and light cured acrylic resin showed low bacterial adhesion.
- These materials also exhibited low bacterial microleakage in sealing accessory canals.
- Four restorative materials were compared for their bacterial resistance in implant prosthesis.

## Abstract

The level of bacterial adhesion and bacterial microleakage in four different materials utilised to seal the access passage of screw
retained implant supported prosthesis (SRIP) is of interest to dentists. Four distinct categories were created from the samples on the
basis of restorative materials used for sealing access passage in SRIP. Guttapercha and light cured acrylic resin were found to have
comparatively low bacterial adhesion and bacterial microleakage in sealing accessory canals in screw retained implant supported
prosthesis.
