Osseointegration of titanium implants

Implant fixation improved by close fit Cylindrical implant – bone interface studied in rabbits

“…An exact surgical fit may, if stabilization is adequate, allow for fixation by appositional bone lamellae along the entire implant surface (Brlnemark et al 1969). Adequately inserted tightened threaded implants will be a better guarantee for an exact surgical fit than is the case with impacted implants, as indicated by the findings of Carlsson et al (1986) and Johansson and Albrektsson (1987). Screws may therefore achieve a more complete bone-to-implant contact in comparison with other designs.…”

Stepwise introduction of a bone-conserving osseointegrated hip arthroplasty using RSA and a randomized study: I. Preliminary investigations—52 patients followed for 3 years

“…In most cases, this could not be attributed to subsidence-as the RSA values indicated migration of well below 0.3 mm (the detection level for radiolucency of a soft tissue interface (Carlsson et al 1986)). Freeman et al (2003) concluded that such a "reactive line" is evidence of a fine fibrous tissue layer at the implant surface, but not associated with particles or osteolysis.…”

Outcome after pelvic sarcoma resection and reconstruction with a modular hemipelvic prostheses

“…Montes considered that living and functional bone tissue formation around the implants results in osseointegration [25,28]. Success of osseointegration depends on certain factors [33], such as implant biomaterial and superficial properties (topography and surface roughness) [4,10,11,18,19,22], appropriate bone quantity and quality [15], systemic factors and no surgical complications, such as bone overheating and contamination [4,24], and peri-implantitis [32,36]. In our study, osseointegration of all cases was attained from the clinical aspect.…”
