“…72,76 Both of these tests correlate the physiologic function of the receptors to the subjective response of the patient. 77 A study by Macefield et al confirmed that the tactile response decreased at the level of abutment connection, after stage-two surgery. This can be due to the trauma caused by two surgical procedures (flap surgery for implant placement and implant uncovering surgery) involving periosteal elevation.…”

“…The threshold level of ATS was recorded and ranged between 20 and 150 µm depending on the dental status, with a 2-5 times increased threshold for implants compared to natural teeth. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] In another six articles, 2,[36][37][38][39][40] pressure was manually or semi-automatically exerted on natural teeth and implant-supported prostheses, and the threshold of passive tactile sensibility (PTS) revealed an up to 50 times higher threshold level for implants (force = 100 g) compared to natural teeth (force = 2 g). Overall, implant-supported prosthesis showed higher tactile force threshold level compared to natural teeth but remained more sensitive than the non-implant-supported prosthesis.…”

Objectives Osseoperception is defined as the ability to perceive tactile sensation via mechanoreception in the peri‐implant environment. The objective was to systematically review the available literature on the osseoperception phenomenon following dental implant placement and to explore potential factors which might improve the perception capacity. Material and methods A literature search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to June 2021. Both human and animal studies assessing sensory capacity or innervation following implant placement were included in this review. Two reviewers independently performed the study selection, data extraction and quality assessment of the included studies. The methodological quality of the included papers was assessed using Cochrane risk of bias for human studies and SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool for animal studies. Results The electronic search of databases yielded 1667 results. Following removal of duplicates, title and abstract screening and full‐text reading, 22 publications were eligible to be included in the review. Psychophysical evidence from 14 studies indicated a lower tactile function of implants, where active and passive threshold levels were found to be 5 and 50 times higher for implants compared to natural teeth, respectively. The neurophysiological evidence from three studies indicated cortical plasticity following dental implant placement, measured via trigeminal nerve evoked potentials and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Histological evidence from five studies demonstrated the presence of myelinated nerve fibres in the peri‐implant tissues. Additionally, immediate implant placement and loading showed beneficial effect on peri‐implant tissue (re)innervation; however, no other biological or physiological factors could be identified influencing osseoperception. Conclusions The reported evidence supported the existence of so‐called osseoperception phenomenon for restoring the sensory feedback pathway following oral implant rehabilitation. Further studies are required to identify factors that might further assist physiological integration of the oral implants in the human body as such to approach natural oral function.

Background:The time-dependent peri-implant innervation needs to be elucidated in detail.Objectives: To examine the distribution of mature and newly regenerated nerves around the implant with immunofluorescence during 28-day follow-up after implantation.Methods: 35 male Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped into non-operated (n = 5), extraction (n = 5) and implant (n = 25) groups. For rats in the extraction and implant groups, three right maxillary molars were extracted. One month later, a titanium implant was placed into the healed alveolar ridge in the implant group. The implant group was further divided into 5 subgroups according to day 1, 3, 7, 14 or 28 after implantation, on which day serial histological sections were prepared for immunohistochemistry. On day 28, the serial sections were also prepared in the non-operated and extraction groups. Soluble protein-100 and growth-associated protein-43 were used to immunolabel mature and newly regenerated nerve fibres, respectively. Results:In the peri-implant soft tissues, the number of both mature and newly regenerated nerves showed an increasing trend in 28 days. In the bone tissues, the number of mature or newly regenerated nerves in both areas at less than 100 μm and 100-200 μm from the implant surface on day 28 grew significantly compared with that on day 1 or 3. In addition, the closest distance from mature nerves to the implant surface decreased evidently. Conclusion:The number of peri-implant nerves increased in 28 days since implantation. The innervation in the soft tissue took place faster than in the bone tissue. The mature nerves in the bone tissue approached the implant gradually.
