Outline of Final Research Achievements

Microbiome analysis can detect all microorganisms, especially bacteria that cannot be cultured, and obtain genome information. It is very effective method that can analyze bacterial composition and function. Therefore, microbiome analysis around implant tissue was carried out to elucidate pathology of periimplantitis that caused by oral bacteria.
However, significant discovery that characterized bacterial composition and function of inflamed tissue around implant was not found in this study.
