Sažetak
To our knowledge there are not any literature data regarding analysis of temporomandibular disturbance in patients with implants with regard to the finding of periodontal pathogens, i.e. A.actinomycetemcommitans, P.gingivalis, T. forsythia, P. intermedia, T. denticola and F.nucleatum. This study was approved by Ethical Committee of the School of Dentistry, University of Zagreb, Croatia and every participant signed an informed consent according ot the Helsinki II. A questionnaire was made for the purpose of this study where data regarding age, gender, systemic diseases, medication intake, smoking and alcohol consumption as well as periodontal status and presence of bacteria were recorded. In 51 patients, age range 22-86 years, average age 56.5 years, 136 implants were inserted. Analysis of the temporomandibular joint was performed according to Bezuur and Hanson. Microbial samples were taken six months after the implants have been placed, three times during 10 seconds with sterile paper points in gingival sulcus, perimplant tissue and abutment seating. Samples were taken with paper points and analyzed with real-time PCR (Carpagen® GmbH, Münster, Germany).
