Resumen
ABALOS, C. Bacterial adhesion to biomaterials. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2005, vol.21, n.1, pp.347-353. ISSN 2340-3152.
In general terms, there are four elements which influence on bacterial adhesion: the material, the micro organisms, antimicrobials and defence mechanisms. The influence of the material is more relevant at the initial states of adhesion where the proper material, its roughness or its superficial energy can have some influence. If there is some influence of the material in the bacterial adhesion, it relies on the features of the acquired film and on the specificity of the adsorved salivary proteins (receptors), which can be influenced by the composition of the material or the characteristics of its surface.
