| research 14 implants 1 2016 Breeding trial after decontamination It was possible to recultivate bacteria sporadically after decontamination and simple drying. Preliminary Summary Compared to other decontamination procedures, the application of the antimicrobial gel Perisolv achieved satisfactory decontamination results from a microbiological point of view in both in-vitro study phases. In all samples, a significant reduction of the bacterial count was observed. However, a bacterial elimination only was achieved in the first study phase, but not in the second phase. SEM images of the implants that have undergone the procedure described above, pointed out that the antimicrobial gel did not induce any changes to the implant surface and that it has certain potency for dissolving the (inoculated) bacterial turf. As a limitation to the evaluated results, it should be clearly stated that the presented investigation was performed in an in-vitro environment with a “non-human milieu” and without a real inflamma­ tory component. Thus, our results about the basic applicability of the presented method can be re- gard­ed as a first approach, but in no case a clear statement about the definitive decontamination ­efficacy of the tested methods can be done. Acknowledgement In particular, we want to thank Dr Brodner (Insti- tute Bioscientia, Freiburg, Germany) and Institut Straumann AG (Basel, Switzerland) for their valuable support in the microbiological testing phase and in the preparation of scanning electron images. We want to thank Straumann Germany GmbH for pro- viding the plastic jaws and the implants. Without their elaborate and valuable work, this study would not have been possible._ Fig. 4d Fig. 4e Fig. 4f Fig. 4g Fig. 4d Fig. 4h Fig. 4e Fig. 4i Fig. 4f Contact Dr Georg Bach Rathausgasse 36 79098 Freiburg im Breisgau Germany doc.bach@t-online.de www.herrmann-bach.de 12016
