However, most commercially available Ti-based implant biomaterials exhibit much higher Young's modulus than that of human bones (around 30 GPa or less).
The primary purposes of this study were to evaluate how locally delivered zoledronate affects the longitudinal stability of miniscrew implants (MSIs) and the healing of bone around MSIs.
The purpose of this study was to predict time-dependent biomechanics of bone around cylindrical screw dental implants with different macrogeometric designs under simulated immediate loading condition.
The remodeling of bone around a parallel-sided and a tapered dental implant of same length was studied under 100 N oblique load by implementing the Stanford theory into three-dimensional finite element models.
Here, this engineered tissue was orthotopically implanted into defects made in femurs of immunodeficient rats, and histological analysis were carried out to examine the repair of the damage and the formation of bone around the implant.
The conservation of bone around the implant especially in the buccal plate plays a crucial role on esthetics.
Both surgical protocols lead in our study to similar outcomes regarding the loss of bone around dental implants.
Smith is worried about the fate of what he calls "the only [known] uncontaminated piece of bone around".
