Abutments were submitted to cleaning, chemical disinfection, and autoclave sterilization according to clinical guidelines. The abutments were aseptically placed into glass tubes containing specific bacterial growth medium and then incubated for 10\u00a0days. From glass tubes with bacterial growth, 100\u00a0\u00b5l medium was transferred to Schaedler's agar for morphological identification and counting of strict anaerobes and to Columbia blood agar for presumptive identification of facultative anaerobes after incubation. Isolated strains were then identified at species level by enzymatic and biochemical tests within API microorganism detection platform. Also, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed for identification of undefined strains.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After the standard cleaning and sterilization procedures, fifty\u2010six (approximately 30%) retrieved abutments showed the presence of remnant biofilm biomass.

Further studies should be performed on the assessment of different materials, design, and connections of the healing abutments associated with clinical disinfection procedures in implant dentistry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jre.12834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,25]],"date-time":"2020-12-25T07:30:57Z","timestamp":1608881457000},"page":"415-422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Remnant oral biofilm and microorganisms after autoclaving sterilization of retrieved healing abutments"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Pedro","family":"Barreiros","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral Surgery, School of Dentistry (FMDUP) University of Porto Porto 4200\u2010393 Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Dental Sciences University Institute of Health Sciences (IUCS), CESPU Gandra PRD 4585\u2010116 Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Braga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral Surgery, School of Dentistry (FMDUP) University of Porto Porto 4200\u2010393 Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9265-0913","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo","family":"Faria\u2010Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral Surgery, School of Dentistry (FMDUP) University of Porto Porto 4200\u2010393 Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Coelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Sciences University Institute of Health Sciences (IUCS), CESPU Gandra PRD 4585\u2010116 Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7675-5643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wim","family":"Teughels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Health Sciences, Periodontology, Dentistry, University Hospitals Leuven Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Leuven 3000 Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7999-4009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00falio C.
