The stability of peri-implant tissue is essential for the long-term success of dental implants. Although various types of implant connections are used, little is known about the effects of the physical mechanisms of dental implants on the stability of peri-implant tissue. This review summarizes the relevant literature to establish guidelines regarding the effects of connection type between abutments and implants in soft and hard tissues. Soft tissue seals can affect soft tissue around implants. In external connections, micromobility between the abutment and the hex component of the implant, resulting from machining tolerance, can destroy the soft tissue seal, potentially leading to microbial invasion. Internal friction connection implants induce strain on the surrounding bone via implant wall expansion that translates into masticatory force. This strain is advantageous because it increases the amount and quality of peri-implant bone. The comparison of internal and external connections, the two most commonly used connection types, reveals that internal friction has a positive influence on both soft and hard tissues.

AbstractOsseointegration is a fundamental phenomenon of dental implantology. It ensures the stability, the safety and the durability of dental implants and predictable clinical success in long-term. The geometric form of the implant is a defining parameter of osseointegration and implant-bone charge transfer. This is the essential constitutes of this study. In fact, we demonstrate using the finite elements method with tridimensional numerical computations, that the geometrical parameters of the implant conditionate the level and the repartition of the stresses, induced in the cortical bone and the spongy bone during the masticatory process, simulated here by dynamic charging. The effect of several parameters [size and conicity of the implant neck, size and radius of curvature of the implant apex] and the shape of the implant corps on the biomechanical behavior of the bone. The latest was analyzed in terms of variation of the equivalent stress induced in the bone. The purpose of this analysis was the developing of an implant form allowing stress relaxation, during the mastication process, in the living tissue.

The Stability

The β-Ti alloys exhibit excellent shape memory effect and superelastic properties. The interstitial atoms in the alloys have important effect on their physical and mechanical properties. For the interstitial atoms, the internal friction technique can be used to detect their distributions and status in the alloys. The anelastic relaxation in β-Ti alloys is discussed in this paper. β-Ti alloys possesses bcc (body center body) structure. The oxygen (O) atoms in in the alloys is difficult to be removed. The O atoms located at the octahedral sites in the alloys will produce relaxation under cycle stress. In addition, the interaction between the interstitial atoms and substitute atoms, e.g., Nb-O,Ti-O can also produce relaxation. Therefore, the observed relaxational internal friction peak during the measuring of internal friction is widened. The widened multiple relaxation peak can be revolved into Debye,s elemental peaks in Ti-based alloys. The relaxation peak is associated with oxygen movements in lattices under the application of cycle stress and the interactions of oxygen-substitute atoms in metastable β phase (βM) phase for the water-cooled specimens and in the stable β (βS) phase for the as-sintered specimens. The damping peak height is not only associated with the interstitial oxygen, but also the stability and number of βM in the alloys.

Objectives: To determine the effect of mechanical loading of bone on the stability and histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants using an experimental test in an animal model. Materials and Methods: A total of 4 human implants were placed in both tibiae of 10 New Zealand rabbits (n = 40). A 6-week osseointegration was considered, and the rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (Test group) included 5 rabbits that ran on a treadmill for 20 min daily during the osseointegration period; Group B (Controls) included the other 5 that were housed conventionally. The monitored variables were related to the primary and secondary stability of the dental implants (implant stability quotient—ISQ), vertical bone growth, bone to implant contact (BIC), area of regenerated bone and the percentage of immature matrix. Results: The results of the study show a greater vertical bone growth (Group A 1.26 ± 0.48 mm, Group B 0.32 ± 0.47 mm, p < 0.001), higher ISQ values (Group A 11.25 ± 6.10 ISQ, 15.73%; Group B 5.80 ± 5.97 ISQ, 7.99%, p = 0.006) and a higher BIC (Group A 19.37%, Group B 23.60%, p = 0.0058) for implants in the test group, with statistically significant differences. A higher percentage of immature bone matrix was observed for implants in the control group (20.68 ± 9.53) than those in the test group (15.38 ± 8.84) (p = 0.108). A larger area of regenerated bone was also observed for the test implants (Group A 280.50 ± 125.40 mm2, Group B 228.00 ± 141.40 mm2), but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.121). Conclusions: The mechanical loading of bone improves the stability and the histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants.

Titanium Nanoparticles

The objective of this review was to analyze the process of wear of implants leading to the shedding of titanium particles into the peri-implant hard and soft tissues. Titanium is considered highly biocompatible with low corrosion and toxicity, but recent studies indicate that this understanding may be misleading as the properties of the material change drastically when titanium nanoparticles (NPs) are shed from implant surfaces. These NPs are immunogenic and are associated with a macrophage-mediated inflammatory response by the host. The literature discussed in this review indicates that titanium NPs may be shed from implant surfaces at the time of implant placement, under loading conditions, and during implant maintenance procedures. We also discuss the significance of the micro-gap at the implant-abutment interface and the effect of size of the titanium particles on their toxicology. These findings are significant as the titanium particles can have adverse effects on local soft and hard tissues surrounding implants, implant health and prognosis, and even the health of systemic tissues and organs.

Implant Loading

The loss of teeth, which is a frequent occurrence, is followed by functional, aesthetic and psychological problems. Dentistry has very important role to enable adequate rehabilitation as soon as possible. Removable dentures or fixed bridges on dental implants are most modern and best mode of rehabilitation for the patient. The advantages of implant anchored tooth restorations compared with classical procedures are multiple. Among others, there is prevention of bone resorption, correction of the stability and retention of the restorations, elimination of the preparation of adjacent teeth, as well as the improvement of the patient?s psychological status. In order to achieve successful implantation, the following principles have to be taken into consideration: indications and contraindications; biocompatibility; osseointegration; the protocol of implant loading and the assessment of implant success. One of the biggest challenges is implantology under unfavourable anatomical conditions, as well as the implantation on irradiated tissue. However, these conditions are not absolute contraindications for implantation. The adequate choice of adequate implantological system enables successful implantation under different conditions.

And Storage

Experiments have been made in the development of various new black-currant products, such as cloudy juice, juice concentrate and various freeze-dried preparations, along with a study of the effect of these different methods of preparation on the initial quality and storage properties. The quality was assessed from the stability of ascorbic acid and colour, the aroma number, and organoleptic evaluation. Storage lasted up to 8 months. It was established that the cloudiness exercised a slight protective effect on ascorbic acid. However, the instability of the cloud meant that the appearance of the cloudy juice was less attractive than that of the clear juice. No well-founded advantage of the cloudy juice could be demonstrated. Concentration proved less suitable, as there occurred harmful changes in ascorbic acid, colour and organoleptic properties. The freezing-drying method was excellent with respect to ascorbic acid and colour. In contrast, considerable losses in aroma occurred, with consequent weakening of the organoleptic properties. This method would be of advantage only in combination with aroma recovery, and solution of the financial problems involved. The results are discussed in the light of relevant literature.
