The effects of collagen cross-link deficiency on osseointegration process of pure titanium implants.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of collagen cross-link deficiency on collagen fiber formation around an implant and its effect on the osseointegration process.

Methods: Wistar rats were fed 0.1% beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) dissolved in water to induce collagen cross-link deficiency.

Peri-implant bone alterations under the influence of abutment screw preload stress. A preclinical vivo study.

Objectives: The study purpose was to examine peri-implant bone alternations around osseointegrated implants caused solely by abutment screw preload stress using different tightening torque values.

Materials And Methods: Twenty 20- to 22-week-old Japanese white rabbits received two implants each in right and left femurs. Implants were randomly assigned to one of three tightening torque groups or the control (Cont) group.

The Platelet Concentrates Therapy: From the Biased Past to the Anticipated Future.

The ultimate goal of research on platelet concentrates (PCs) is to develop a more predictable PC therapy. Because platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a representative PC, was identified as a possible therapeutic agent for bone augmentation in the field of oral surgery, PRP and its derivative, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), have been increasingly applied in a regenerative medicine. However, a rise in the rate of recurrence (e.

Effect of Collagen Cross-Link Deficiency on Incorporation of Grafted Bone.

Bone matrix collagen, is one of the major contributors to bone quality. No studies have examined how bone quality affects the results of bone transplantation. Collagen cross-links (CCL) are the key factor in collagen properties.
