After high fractures of the mandibular condyle, the insufficient blood supply to the condyle often leads to poor bone and cartilage repair ability and poor clinical outcome. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) can promote the bone formation and mineralization of mandibular fracture, but its effects on cartilage healing after the free reduction and internal fixation of high fractures of the mandibular condyle are unknown. In this study, a rabbit model of free reduction and internal fixation of high fractures of the mandibular condyle was established, and the effects and mechanisms of PTH on condylar cartilage healing were explored. Forty-eight specific-pathogen-free (SPF) grade rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group, PTH was injected subcutaneously at 20 µg/kg (PTH (1–34)) every other day, and in the control group, PTH was replaced with 1 ml saline. The healing cartilages were assessed at postoperative days 7, 14, 21, and 28. Observation of gross specimens, hematoxylin eosin staining and Safranin O/fast green staining found that every-other-day subcutaneous injection of PTH at 20 µg/kg promoted healing of condylar cartilage and subchondral osteogenesis in the fracture site. Immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction showed that PTH significantly upregulated the chondrogenic genes Sox9 and Col2a1 in the cartilage fracture site within 7–21 postoperative days in the experimental group than those in the control group, while it downregulated the cartilage inflammation gene matrix metalloproteinase-13 and chondrocyte terminal differentiation gene ColX. In summary, exogenous PTH can stimulate the formation of cartilage matrix by triggering Sox9 expression at the early stage of cartilage healing, and it provides a potential therapeutic protocol for high fractures of the mandibular condyle.

Background/Aim. Flapless implant surgery has become very important issue during recent years, mostly thanks to computerization of dentistry and software planning of dental implants placements. The aim of this study was to compare flap and flapless surgical techniques for implant placement through radiographic and radiofrequency analyses. Methods. The experiment was made in five domestic pigs. Nine weeks following domestic pigs teeth extraction, implants were placed, on the right side using surgical technique flap, and flapless on the left side. Digital dental Xrays were applied to determine primary dental implant stability quality (ISQ). At certain intervals, not later than three months, the experimental animals were sacrificed, and just before it, control X-rays were applied to measure dental implants stability. Results. Radiographic analysis showed that peri-implant bone resorption in the first 4 weeks following placement implants with flap and flapless surgical techniques was negligible. After the 3 months, mean value of peri-implant bone resorption of the implants placed using flap technique was 1.86 mm, and of those placed using flapless technique was 1.13 mm. In relation to the primary dental implant stability in the first and second week there was an expected decrease in ISQ values, but it was less expressed in the dental implants placed using the flapless technique. In the third week the ISQ values were increased in the dental implants placed by using both techniques, but the increase in flapless implant placement was higher (7.4 ISQ) than in flap implant placement (1.5 ISQ). The upward trend continued in a 4- week period, and after 3 months the dental implant stability values in the implants placed using flap technique were higher than the primary stability for 7.1 ISQ, and in the implants placed using flapless technique were higher comparing to the primary stability for 10.1 ISQ units. Conclusion. Based on the results of radiographic and resonance frequency analyses it can be concluded that the flapless technique in surgical implants placemat, leads to better results.

Background. Pure titanium continues to be the first choice for dental implants and represents the gold standard for their biocompatibility and physical and mechanical characteristics, while the titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) has good mechanical properties. The surface structure of the titanium oxide layer formation on the surface influences and improves the bone response around dental implants. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of a thermal treatment of Ti6Al4V implant surfaces and the bone healing response in a rabbit model. Methods. Altogether sixteen implants with same design were inserted into the distal femoral metaphysis. A screw (13 mm long, 4 mm in diameter) was inserted in an implant bed. Each rabbit received two implants, one in the left femur and one in the right femur. The samples were histologically and histomorphometrically evaluated at 8 weeks. Results. A statistically significant difference (p = 0.000034) was present histologically in the percentages of bone-implant contact (BIC) between the test group (BIC = 69.25±4.49%.) and control group (BIC = 56.25 ± 4.8%) by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Conclusions. The outcome of the present study indicates a novel approach to improving bone healing around titanium implants.

Secondary Stage

Achieving primary stability in dental implants is crucial factor for accomplishing successful osteointegration with bone. Micro-motions higher than the threshold of 50 to 100 μm can lead to formation of fibrous tissue at the bone-to-implant interface. Therefore, osteointegration may be vitiated due to insufficient primary stability. Osseointegration is defined as a direct and functional connection between the implant biomaterial and the surrounding bone tissue. Osseointegration development requires an initial rigid implant fixation into the bone at the time of surgery and a secondary stage of new bone apposition directly onto the implant surface. Dental implants function to transfer the load to the surrounding biological tissues. Due to the absence of a periodontal ligament, its firm anchorage to bone, various forces acting on it and the presence of prosthetic components, they share a complex biomechanical relationship. The longevity of these osseointegrated implants depend on optimizing these complex interactions. Hence, the knowledge of forces acting on implant, design considerations of implant and bone mechanics is essential to fabricate an optimized implant supported prosthesis.
