The purpose of this study is to analyze the bone remodeling process after the placement of threaded implants with rough (RBM) and hydroxyapatite coated surfaces (HA) in rabbit tibias using polyfluorochrome sequential labeling. Histomorphometry was performed in order to quantify the amount of each label deposited during the healing period. This work demonstrates the possibility of periodic identification of apatite deposition during bone remodeling around titanium and ceramic implants.

Materials And Methods: The IAN lateralization was performed in an experimental rabbit model. Eight adult female rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) underwent the surgical procedure, and 1 implant was placed on each side of the mandible while the nerve was lateralized.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of implants with different covering layers. The aim of these wide spectra is to discover the material that has the best possible biocompatibility. The presence of so many kinds of covering layers indicates that this aim has not been reached until now.

The implant anchorage in the bone is very important for the stability of the element that has to support much pressure when under use. This stability is attained by bone modeling and remodeling processes.
