Sclerostin expression is upregulated around implants inserted without primary stability, in comparison with that around implants inserted with primary stability, in the tibia of rats. This preliminary evidence reinforces the importance of primary implant stability from the biologic viewpoint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
