Dynamics of osseointegration in various human and animal models ‐ a comparative analysis

Abstract

The interception points may provide information on efficacy of early osseointegration. The slope of the line (m) is related to the efficacy of bone appositions.

Sequential morphometric evaluation at UnicCa® and SLActive® implant surfaces. An experimental study in the dog

“…The healing was similar to those described in different animal models, anatomical sites and surgical procedures. As opposed to the osseointegration process on the surface of implants where various factors may influence the dynamics (Botticelli & Lang ), the gap healing as expressed by the morphometric analysis in the present study appeared not to be influenced by the surface configuration.…”

Healing at the interface between recipient sites and autologous block bone grafts affixed by either position or lag screw methods: a histomorphometric study in rabbits

“…; Rossi et al. ; Botticelli & Lang ). In the internal zone, the screw may have played a role to induce bone modeling and remodeling processes, as shown in other experimental studies in dogs (Rossi et al.…”

Reposition of the bone plate over the antrostomy in maxillary sinus augmentation: A histomorphometric study in rabbits

“…The inference of the results from the present animal study to similar clinical situations in humans has to be considered with care because of the low number of animals used in each period of healing and because of the low phylogenetic level of rabbits that may imply a faster healing than in human (Botticelli & Lang, ).…”
