Objectives: This study compared the impact of implant surface treatment on the stability and osseointegration of implants in dog mandibles.

Materials And Methods: Six adult dogs received a total of 48 implants that were prepared using four different surface treatments; resorbable blast media (RBM), hydroxyapatite (HA), hydrothermal-treated HA, and sand blasting and acid etching (SLA). Implants were installed, and dogs were separated into 2- and 4-week groups. Implant stability was evaluated via Periotest M, Osstell Mentor, and removal torque analyzers. A histomorphometric analysis was also performed.

Results: The stability evaluation showed that all groups generally had satisfactory values. The histomorphometric evaluation via a light microscope revealed that the HA surface implant group had the highest ratio of new bone formation on the entire fixture. The hydrothermal-treated HA surface implant group showed a high ratio of bone-to-implant contact in the upper half of the implant area.

Conclusion: The hydrothermal-treated HA implant improved the bone-to-implant contact ratio on the upper fixture, which increased the implant stability.

LIPUS promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs and osseointegration of dental implants by regulating ITGA11 and focal adhesion pathway.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.

Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

Statement Of Problem: Although immediate implant loading has shown promising clinical results and high survival rates, an increased risk of implant failure and complications has been reported. Achieving consistently predictable outcomes with this approach remains a challenge, but evidence-based guidelines to assist in selecting suitable patients are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to investigate the success rate, survival rate, and complications of immediate implant loading compared with early and delayed loading.

Long-Term Natural Hydroxyapatite and Synthetic Collagen Hydroxyapatite Enhance Bone Regeneration and Implant Fixation Similar to Allograft in a Sheep Model of Implant Integration.

There is an increasing demand for a suitable bone substitute to replace current clinical gold standard autografts or allografts. Majority of previous studies have focused on the early effects of substitutes on bone formation, while information on their long-term efficacies remains limited. This study investigated the efficacies of natural hydroxyapatite (nHA) derived from oyster shells and synthetic hydroxyapatite mixed with collagen (COL/HA) or chitosan (CS/HA) on bone regeneration and implant fixation in sheep.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with transfemoral amputation often face issues related to socket fit and overuse injuries due to uneven joint stress, which can be improved by using bone-anchored prosthetics that connect directly to the bone.
  • This study investigates the relationship between the alignment of the femur and pelvis and how it impacts hip loading asymmetry during walking, both before and one year after receiving a bone-anchored limb implant.
  • The analysis included 19 participants from a larger group who underwent the surgery, comparing their skeletal alignment and hip motion data collected at two different time points to determine the effects of the implantation on their mobility and joint loading.

Immunomodulation with M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles for enhanced titanium implant osseointegration under diabetic conditions.

M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M2-EVs) demonstrate the capacity to reduce pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage formation, thereby restoring the M1-M2 macrophage balance and promoting immunoregulation. However, the efficacy of M2-EVs in regulating macrophage polarization and subsequently enhancing osseointegration around titanium (Ti) implants in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) remains to be elucidated. In this study, Ti implants were coated with polydopamine to facilitate M2-EVs adherence.
