Energy dispersion spectroscopy analysis on failed implants: a preliminary survey.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on these preliminary data, EDS automatic mapping may be considered an exciting method to analyze failed implants. Furthermore, the possible future applications in this field, once the bacteria have been identified, could involve a more specific treatment with the aim of remove infected contaminants on the implant surfaces.
