This study aimed to examine the dynamic change in bone metabolism by immediate loading in several sites around implants using high-resolution NaF-PET scan. Two titanium implants (Ø 1.2 mm) were inserted parallel to each other in the right tibiae of Wistar rats (n = 4).

Methods: Tibiae of 12 adult male rats were divided into 4 groups: immediate loading (IL), no loading (NL), bone defect (BD), and control (CTR). For the IL group, a 4.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the influence of immediate and early loading on dynamic changes in bone metabolism around dental implants using bone scintigraphy.
Material And Methods: Two titanium implants were inserted in the right tibiae of 21 rats. Closed coil springs with 4.
Because of its high predictability of success, implant therapy is a reliable treatment for replacement of missing teeth. The concept of immediate implant loading has been widely accepted in terms of early esthetic and functional recovery. However, there is little biological evidence to support this concept.

However, recent clinical applications have disclosed an unexpected side effect, osteonecrosis of the jaw. We previously found in mice that etidronate (a non-NBP), when coadministered with alendronate (an NBP), inhibited the latter's inflammatory effects.
