Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the microleakage at the implant-abutment (I-A) interface of Morse tapered
implants inoculated with different volumes of bacterial suspension. Methods: Morse tapered IA
sets were selected and divided in two groups depending on the type of abutment: passing
screw (PS) and solid (S), and then subdivided into four subgroups (n=6) according to the
suspension volume: PS1: 0.1 μL; PS3: 0.3 μL; PS5: 0.5 μL; PS7: 0.7 μL; S1: 0.1 μL; S3: 0.3
μL; S5: 0.5 μL and S7: 0.7 μL. A control test was performed to verify the presence of external
contamination during the inoculation and the implants were incubated for microbiological analysis.
The microleakage was evaluated every 24 h for 7 days by the clarity of solution. After this
period, the implants were disassembled for confirmation of bacterial viability. Results: All the
specimens with 0.7 μL and one sample of S5 presented turbidity in the control test indicating
external contamination, and were excluded from the study. After 7 days of observation, none of
the specimens presented positive results for microleakage and the bacterial viability was confirmed
in all specimens. The 0.1 μL and 0.3 μL volumes did not present bacterial microleakage,
meaning that these volumes may be inadequate for analysis. Conclusions: None of the sets
evaluated showed bacterial microleakage at the I-A interface and the volume of 0.7 μL exceeded
the internal capacity of the implants.
