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

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.
