Bacterial Signaling

Bacterial Signaling

Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Area of Science:

Oral Implantology
Periodontology
Biomaterials Science

Background:

The concept of biological width is fundamental in oral implantology.
Understanding peri-implant soft tissue is crucial for implant success.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive review of the biological width around dental implants.
To detail the concept, formation, remodeling, dimension, structure, and function of peri-implant biological width.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted in the MEDLINE database via PubMed.
Keywords included "implant", "biological width", "soft tissue", "junctional epithelium", and "peri-implant epithelium" among others.
The search covered literature prior to March 2019 with no date restriction.

Main Results:

Researches explored the concept, formation, remodeling, dimension, structure, and function of biological width in oral implantation.
The biological width forms over several weeks of healing.
Key components include sulcular epithelium, junctional epithelium, and connective tissue.

Conclusions:

Peri-implant biological width is a 3-4mm distance crucial for implant stability.
It acts as a biological barrier, influences tissue remodeling, and has clinical implications for dental implantation.
Its formation is a complex healing process vital for long-term implant success.
