Periodontics · single question

Peri-implantitis is most strongly associated with which type of bacterial flora?

  1. Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria
  2. Gram-positive aerobic bacteria
  3. Predominantly fungal organisms
  4. Predominantly viral pathogens
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria

Peri-implantitis shares a microbial profile broadly similar to chronic periodontitis, dominated by gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, reflecting a comparable inflammatory, biofilm-driven destructive process around the implant.
