ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Teeth connect to bone via a periodontal ligament, whereas implants connect to bone directly. Consequently, masticatory loads are distributed differently to periodontal versus peri-implant bone. Our objective was to determine how masticatory loading of an implant versus a tooth affected peri-implant versus periodontal bone remodeling. Our hypothesis was that strains produced by functional loading of an implant would be elevated compared with the strains around teeth, and that this would stimulate a greater degree of bone turnover around implants versus in periodontal bone. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Sixty skeletally mature mice were divided into two groups. In the implant group, maxillary first molars (mxM1) were extracted, and after socket healing, titanium alloy implants were positioned subocclusally. After osseointegration, implants were exposed, resin crowns were placed, and masticatory loading was initiated. In the control group, the dentition was left intact. Responses of peri-implant and periodontal bone were measured using micro-CT, histology, bone remodeling assays, and quantitative histomorphometry while bone strains were estimated using finite element (FE) analyses.CONCLUSIONS:
When a submerged osseointegrated implant is exposed to masticatory forces, peri-implant strains are elevated, and peri-implant bone undergoes significant remodeling that culminates in new bone accrual. The accumulation of new bone functions to reduce both peri-implant strains and bone remodeling activities, equivalent to those observed around the intact dentition.Palabras clave
