The effect of different surgical drilling procedures on full laser‐etched microgrooves surface‐treated implants: an experimental study in sheep

Abstract

The laser-etched microgrooved implant presented osteoconductive and biocompatible properties for all surgical procedures tested. However, procedures providing increasingly higher press-fit scenarios presented the strongest histomorphometric and biomechanical responses at 3 and 6 weeks.

The effect of osteotomy dimension on osseointegration to resorbable media-treated implants: A study in the sheep

“…These results confirmed that a simplified drilling protocol does not have negative indications and it achieves at least comparable or faster osseointegration than the conventional drilling procedure, with gradual expansion of the implant site 34,35 .…”

Are insertion torque and early osseointegration proportional? A histologic evaluation

“…This has been indicated in our previous study that the less stable implant created by overdrilling do not contribute to subsequent osseointegration (Jimbo et al. ,b).…”

“…Theoretically, it has been suggested that the bone is an elastic material before its yielding point, which is an indication that a certain level of strain can be tolerated due to a relaxation effect (Jimbo et al. ,b). On the other hand, once the strain in the bone exceeds the yielding point, numerous microfractures along with blood capillary overcompression provoke ischemic necrosis or in the worst scenario, complete bone fracture (Bashutski et al.…”

Alveolar Bone Architecture: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

“…It is a fact that primary or mechanical stability is required to have biologic integration, 52 particularly in scenarios in which immediate implant loading is to be applied. However, although recent literature 53 states that even over‐drilled implants can achieve osseointegration, its degree still remains unclear. Early studies demonstrated higher implant success rate in the mandible because of its cortical (or compact) bone compared to the maxilla in which the cancellous bone presents with a more porous architecture 18 , 54 .…”
