Abstract
Plaque accumulation, leading to inflammatory processes and bone loss, is one of the main reasons for failure of dental implants. Pellicle formation plays a key role in bacterial adhesion and plaque accumulation. The influence of experimental bioactive implant surface coatings on the initial process of pellicle formation was investigated in a model system.
