Key Points

This research aims to compare the biofilm formation on cpTi, Ti-6Al-4V, and PEKK abutment materials.
in vitro experimental model
comparison of biofilm development on three abutment materials
multispecies biofilm observation
comparable biofilm development observed on cpTi, Ti-6Al-4V, and PEKK—suggesting similar behavior across materials

Abstract

Within the limitations of the present experimental in vitro model, comparable multispecies biofilm development was observed on all abutment materials.
