TI  - Oral microbial colonization in laryngectomized patients as a possible cofactor of 
      biofilm formation on their voice prostheses.

AB  - AIM: Biofilm formation on voice prostheses, which are used for voice 
      rehabilitation in laryngectomized patients, is a main cause of device failure. 
      The aim of this study was to assess whether the presence of periodontal pathogens 
      in the biofilm on voice prostheses is related to that in the oral cavity and 
      associated with the periodontal status of the patients. METHODS: Thirty-one 
      laryngectomized patients were invited to participate, 13 of whom met exclusion 
      criteria. The remaining 18 were classified according to the community periodontal 
      index of treatment needs (community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), 
      grades 0-4). Biofilm samples from the oral cavity and voice prostheses were 
      analysed by PCR-based hybridization for 11 pathogens. RESULTS: All dentate 
      patients required periodontal treatment (CPITN-3: n = 4, CPITN-4: n = 8); the 
      remaining six were edentulous. The diversity (i.e. number of bacterial species 
      detected) of pathogens detected on the voice prostheses correlated significantly 
      positively with the diversity of pathogens in the oral cavity and with clinical 
      parameters. Furthermore, the diversity of pathogens differed significantly 
      between dentate and edentulous patients. CONCLUSIONS: Results emphasize the oral 
      cavity as an important source of bacteria for biofilm formation on voice 
      prostheses. Whether these pathogens reduce the lifetime of the device by 
      increased biofilm formation and/or increase the risk of silicone deterioration 
      requires further study.
