Introducing a Novel Experimental Model for Osseo-Disintegration of Titanium Dental Implants Induced by Monobacterial Contamination: An In-Vivo Feasibility Study

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: The aim of the current study was to establish an osseo-disintegration model initiated with a single microorganism in mini-pigs. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: A total of 36 titanium dental implants (3.5 mm in diameter, 9.5 mm in length) was in...

Eighteen implants were contaminated via inoculation of <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>. Six weeks after implant insertion, bone-to-implant contact (BIC) ratio, interthread bone density (ITBD), and peri-implant bone density (PIBD) were examined.
