Effects of surface contamination on dental implants
Authors

Abstract
Contamination of dental implants—occurring during manufacture, storage,
handling, or surgery—includes organic (hydrocarbons, proteins), inorganic
(mineral residues, particulates), and biological (saliva, blood,
bacteria/biofilm) types. These contaminants alter surface chemistry and
wettability, impair cell attachment and early osteoblastic responses, reduce
bone-to-implant contact (BIC) in some settings, accelerate corrosion or
microbially-driven deterioration, and may compromise long-term success. This
article summarizes contamination types, mechanisms of harm, detection methods,
prevention and decontamination strategies, and practical clinical
recommendations.
