Implant abutment surfaces are common areas where bacteria accumulate, resulting in the induction of quorum sensing through the release of autoinducer molecules. Robust virulent biofilms are formed which may cause peri-implantitis. Implant abutment surfaces can be coated with QS inhibitors resulting in quorum quenching. This inhibits biofilm formation.
