Advances in surface treatment of dental implants: a literature review

Amplamente utilizados para substituir dentes perdidos, os implantes dentários nos últimos anos vêm apresentando tecnologias como superfícies com micro e nanotopografia e ajustes nas composições químicas, dentre outros, para melhorar a osseointegração e reduzir o prazo de tratamento, permitindo, assim, carga funcional imediata ou precoce em pacientes com densidade óssea reduzida. Vários métodos são aplicados com intuito de modificar a superfície do implante, como jateamento com areia, corrosão ácida, oxidação anódica, tratamento com flúor, usinagem, pulverização de plasma de titânio e revestimento de fosfato de cálcio; esses métodos podem aumentar notavelmente a área de superfície quando operada a técnica adequadada de modificação, quer por procedimento de adição ou subtração. Tais modificações promovem superfícies rugosas, as quais aumentam a porcentagem de contato osso-implante (BIC) durante o processo de cicatrização óssea inicial. Os principais benefícios da modificação da superfície são melhorar a molhabilidade (hidrofilicidade), adesão e fixação de células a implantes e proliferação celular. Dentre os tratamentos de superfície de implantes dentários destaca-se o jateamento de areia com granulação grossa e ataque-ácido com HCL/H2SO4 (SLA) em altas temperaturas, o revestimento de superfície do implante com hidroxiapatita, oxidação anódica e o duplo ataque ácido. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura discutindo a importância e eficácia desses métodos para a osseointegração e, por conseguinte, para a redução do período de tratamento.

Widely used to replace lost teeth, dental implants have been presenting technologies such as surfaces with micro and nano topography and adjustments in chemical compositions, among others, to improve osseointegration and reduce treatment time, thus allowing immediate or early functional load in patients with reduced bone density. Several methods are applied to modify the implant surface, such as sandblasting, acid corrosion, anodic oxidation, fluoride treatment, machining, titanium plasma spraying, and calcium phosphate coating; these methods can notably increase the surface area when the appropriate modification technique is operated, either by the addition or subtraction procedure. Such modifications promote rough surfaces, which increase the percentage of bone-implant contact (BIC) during the initial bone healing process. The main benefits of surface modification are to improve wettability (hydrophilicity), adhesion and attachment of cells to implants, and cell proliferation. Among the surface treatments for dental implants, sandblasting with large grit and acid-etching with HCL/H2SO4 (SLA) stands out at high temperatures. The surface coating of the implant with hydroxyapatite, anodic oxidation, and double acid-etching. This work aims to conduct a literature review discussing the importance and effectiveness of these methods for osseointegration and, therefore, for reducing the treatment period.

Effect of radiotherapy on the differentiation and osteogenic activity of mesenchymal stem cells on dental implants / Efeito da radioterapia na diferenciação e atividade osteogênica de células-tronco mesenquimais em implantes dentários

Objective: to evaluate the differentiation and gene expression of transcripts related to osteogenesis in a primary culture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) derived from rat femurs submitted to radiotherapy and the installation of pure titanium implants. Material and Methods: fifty-four rats received titanium implants in both femurs and were divided into three groups: Control: implant surgery (C); Implant + immediate irradiation (IrI), and Implant + late irradiation (IrL). Euthanasia occurred 3, 14, and 49 days after surgery. The bone marrow MSCs from the femurs were isolated and cultivated. The cell viability, total protein content, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the formation of mineralization nodules and cellular genotoxicity were analyzed. The gene expression of Alkaline Phosphatase (phoA), Collagen 1 (COL1), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Osterix (OSX), Osteopontin (OPN), Integrin ß1(ITGB1), Bone Sialoprotein (BSP), Osteonectin (SPARC), Osteocalcin (Bglap), Transforming Growth Factor ß-type (TGF-ß), Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Apolipoprotein E (APOE) and Prostaglandin E2 synthase (PGE2) were evaluated by qRT- PCR. Results: ionizing radiation suppresses the gene expression of essential transcripts for bone regeneration, as well as cellular viability, as observed in the IrI and IrL groups. Conclusion: although this can lead to the loss of osseointegration and failure of the implant, the MSCs showed more activity at 49 days than at 3 and 14 days. (AU)

Objetivo: avaliar a diferenciação e expressão gênica de transcritos relacionados à osteogênese em cultura primária de MSCs derivadas de fêmures de ratos submetidos à radioterapia e instalação de implantes de titânio puro. Material e Métodos: cinquenta e quatro ratos receberam implantes de titânio em ambos os fêmures e foram divididos em três grupos: Controle: cirurgia de implante (C); Implante + irradiação imediata (IrI) e Implante + irradiação tardia (IrL). A eutanásia ocorreu 3, 14 e 49 dias após a cirurgia. As MSCs de medula óssea dos fêmures foram isoladas e cultivadas. Foram analisadas a viabilidade celular, teor de proteína total, atividade da fosfatase alcalina (ALP), formação de nódulos de mineralização e genotoxicidade celular. A expressão gênica de Fosfatase Alcalina (phoA), Colágeno 1 (COL1), fator de transcrição relacionado a Runt 2 (RUNX2), Osterix (OSX), Osteopontina (OPN), Integrina ß1 (ITGB1), Sialoproteína Óssea (BSP), Osteonectina (SPARC), Osteocalcina (Bglap), Fator de Crescimento Transformador tipo ß (TGF-ß), Fator Estimulante de Colônia de Granulócitos-Macrófagos (GM-CSF), Interleucina-6 (IL-6), Apolipoproteína E (APOE) e Prostaglandina E2 sintase (PGE2) foram avaliados por qRT-PCR. Resultados: a radiação ionizante suprime a expressão gênica de transcritos essenciais para a regeneração óssea, bem como a viabilidade celular, como observado nos grupos IrI e IrL. Conclusão:embora isso possa levar à perda da osseointegração e falha do implante, as MSCs apresentaram maior atividade aos 49 dias do que aos 3 e 14 dias (AU)

The peri-implant ligament: a scoping review

The peri-implant ligament is formed from the interface of bone tissue, through the anchoring of proteins and the surface of the dental implant. In this sense, it is relevant to understand the extent to which this ligament is structured and biomimics the periodontal ligament functions. Aim: The goal of this scoping review is to present and analyze the peri-implant ligament composition and compare the extent to which this ligament is structured and biomimics the periodontal ligament functions. Methods: This scoping review was performed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping review. Two independent researchers searched Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Virtual Health Library, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science, Brazilian Bibliography of Dentistry, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations from the University of São Paulo and Portal Capes. Studies published in English, Portuguese and Spanish, over the last 21 years (2000-2021). Results: A total of 330 titles were identified and after applying inclusion and exclusion factors, 27 studies were included in this review. All proteins were identified regarding their tissue function and classified into 6 major protein groups. After that this new protein ligament was compared with the periodontal ligament regarding its function and composition. The main proteins associated with osseointegration, and thus, with the peri-implant ligament are recognized as belonging to the periodontal ligament. Conclusion: This scoping review results suggest evidence of the composition and function of the periimplant ligament. However, variations may still exist due to the existence of several modulants of the osseointegration process

Fratura de implante dentário: relato de caso / Dental implant fracture: case report / Fractura de implante dental: informe de un caso

Com o aumento da população brasileira e consequentemente o número de edêntulos realizando tratamentos reabilitadores com implantes dentários, se tornou frequente aparições de complicações como, por exemplo, sua fratura. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar as causas prováveis relacionadas a fratura de implante dentário, através de um relato de caso clínico onde pode-se avaliar a condição da fratura apresentada e como foi solucionada. Após a analise do caso clínico, foi constatado que o principal fator que levou a sua fratura foram as sobrecargas oclusais associadas ao mal posicionamento e a qualidade do implante antigo. A partir disso, conclui-se que é de extrema importância o cirurgião dentista estar ciente de todas as possíveis complicações acerca do implante dentário, afim de realizar um bom planejamento cirúrgico diminuindo a taxa de insucesso levando a um bom prognóstico.

With the increase of the Brazilian population and, consequently, the number of edentulous individuals undergoing rehabilitation treatmentes with dental implants, the appearance of complications such as, for example, their fracture has become frequent. The present work aims to presente the probable causes related to dental implant fracture, trough a clinical case report where the condition of the fracture presented and how it was resolved can be evaluated. After analyzing the clinical case, it was found that de main factor that led to its fracture were the occlusal overloads associated with poor positioning and the quality of the old implant. From this , it is concluded that it is extremely important for the dental surgeon to be aware of all possible complications regarding the dental implant, in order to carry out a good surgical planning, reducing the failure rate, leading to a good prognosis.

Con el aumento de la población brasileña y, en consecuencia, del número de personas edéntulas que se someten a tratamientos de rehabilitación con implantes dentales, las complicaciones, como las fracturas, se han vuelto comunes. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar las probables causas relacionadas con la fractura de implantes dentales, a través del reporte de un caso clínico, donde se puede evaluar la condición de la fractura presentada y la forma en que fue resuelta. Tras analizar el caso clínico, se comprobó que el principal factor que condujo a la fractura fue la sobrecarga oclusal asociada a una mala colocación y a la calidad del implante antiguo. Esto lleva a la conclusión de que es muy importante que el cirujano dental conozca todas las posibles complicaciones de los implantes dentales, para realizar una buena planificación quirúrgica, reduciendo así la tasa de fracasos y consiguiendo un buen pronóstico.

Implante transitório de corpo único com ativação imediata para retenção de prótese total provisória - relato de caso / Single body transient implants immediate activated for provisional prosthesis retention ­ case report

A reabilitação protética ganhou um componente que veio solucionar problemas de pessoas edentadas que até então pareciam sem solução. Trata-se dos implantes osseointegráveis, introduzidos pelo professor Per Ingvar Branemark entre os anos 70 e 80, e que, nos dias de hoje, se tornou na maioria dos casos, a primeira opção para a reabilitação oral. No caso de edentados totais na mandíbula, a prótese total fixa sobre implantes instalados entre os forames mentuais é um tipo de tratamento reabilitador com elevado grau de sucesso. Nos casos onde não é possível a colocação da prótese fixa com carga imediata após a instalação dos implantes, o paciente pode usar uma prótese total provisória, diretamente sobre os implantes permanentes instalados ou retida por implantes transitórios de corpo único, com encaixe tipo bola/o'ring. O presente artigo relata um caso clinico com utilização de implantes transitórios de corpo único para reter prótese total provisória, durante o tempo da osseointegração dos implantes permanentes.

Prosthetic rehabilitation gained a component that solved problems of edentulous people. These are the Osseo integrative implants, introduced by Professor Per Ingvar Branemark between the 1970s and 1980s, and which has become in most cases the first option for oral rehabilitation. In the case of mandible total edentulous, the total fixed prosthesis on implants installed between the mental foramina is a type of rehabilitation treatment with a high degree of success. In cases where it is not possible to place the fixed prosthesis with immediate loading after implant installation, the patient may use a provisional total prosthesis, directly on the permanent implants installed or retained by transient implants of single body, ball-type fitting 'ring. The present article reports a clinical case with the use of single body transient implants to retain temporary total prosthesis during the time of osseointegration of permanent implants.

The influence of haematogenous bone marrow on the early osseointegration of a titanium implant which penetrates the endosteum / La influencia de la médula ósea hematógena en la osteointegración temprana de un implante de titanio que penetra en el endostio

SUMMARY: The utility of metallic bio-medical implants in osseous or dental affections is irrefutable. The paper aims to test the tolerance of the bone marrow to titanium implants. Titanium implants were inserted in the femur of 11-months old rabbits. The implants penetrated the endosteum, half of their length getting into the haematogenous bone marrow. Seven days after the insertion we collected bone fragments containing the implant. The CT exam revealed a significant decrease in the density of the bone at the interface with the implant and a more discrete one aloof from the insertion area. The histologic exam after 7 days revealed osseous reparatory processes only in the endosteal area from where it expanded on the surface of the implant which was inside the marrow. The presence and intensity of the osseous reparatory processes after only seven days post-implant demonstrates that the marrow actively participates in bone regeneration and implants osseointegration.

RESUMEN: La utilidad de los implantes biomédicos metálicos en afecciones óseas o dentales es irrefutable. El documento tiene como objetivo probar la tolerancia de la médula ósea a los implantes de titanio. Se insertaron implantes de titanio en el fémur de conejos de 11 meses. Los implantes penetraron en el endostio y la mitad de su longitud penetró en la médula ósea hematógena. Siete días después de la inserción, recolectamos fragmentos de hueso que contenían el implante. El examen de TC reveló una disminución significativa en la densidad del hueso en la interfaz con el implante y una más discreta alejada del área de inserción. El examen histológico a los 7 días reveló procesos de reparación ósea solo en el área endóstica desde donde se expandió en la superficie del implante que estaba dentro de la médula. La presencia e intensidad de los procesos de reparación ósea después de solo siete días del implante demuestra que la médula ósea participa activamente en la regeneración ósea y en la osteointegración de los implantes.

Doenças peri-implantares e fatores de risco associados ao paciente, que levam a perda do implante - uma revisão / Peri-implant diseases and risk fatores associated with the patient, leading to loss of the implant - a review

Os tecidos moles periodontais e peri- implantares possuem muitas características em comum, tanto clínicas como histológicas. Para controle e manutenção adequados destes tecidos, é necessário melhor entendimento das diferenças e similaridades que existem entre eles. Os biofilmes se formam em todas as superfícies aderentes em sistemas fluidos, tanto em dentes como em implantes orais. Como um resultado da presença bacteriana, o hospedeiro responde desenvolvendo um mec anismo de defesa que levará à inflamaç ão dos tecidos moles. Na unidade dentogengival, os resultados são as lesões de gengivite. Na unidade implantar, essa inflamaç ão é denominada de muc osite. Se for permitido o acúmulo de placa por períodos prolongados de tempo, pesquisas experimentais demonstraram que a muc osite pode evoluir para peri-implantite, isto na dependência dos fatores e indicadores de risc o, afetando o osso peri- implantar de suporte circunferencialmente. Embora o osso de suporte seja perdido coronalmente, o implante ainda permanec erá ósseo integrado e, portanto, clinicamente estável. Essa é a razão pela qual a mobilidade representa uma característica de diagnóstico de peri-implantite pouco sensível, mas específica. Parâmetros mais sensíveis e confiáveis do desenvolvimento e da presença de infecções peri- implantares são o sangramento a sondagem, profundidade de sondagem e a interpretações radiográficas , visam detectar o mais cedo possível as lesões peri-implantares, possibilitando assim que o tratamento, que nessa revisão é descrito como sendo cumulativo, começ ando por procedimentos mais simples até os mais avançados, tendo em vista, paralisar e evitar a progressão dessas lesões, o que fatalmente resultaria no fracasso do implante.

Análisis clínico y radiográfico del vástago de cadera no cementado "CEMENTFREE"® de fabricación nacional. Resultados a corto plazo / Clinical and radiographic analysis of the CemenTFRee® uncemented hip stem of national manufacture. Short-term results

Introducción: La estabilidad del componente femoral y su resistencia al hundimiento son factores críticos para lograr una correcta osteointegración y el éxito clínico de la artroplastia total de cadera no cementada. Hay pocos estudios que evalúen los resultados con vástagos de fabricación nacional, aun los de corto y mediano plazo. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un análisis clínico y radiográfico de pacientes sometidos a un reemplazo total de cadera con implante de un componente femoral de fabricación nacional (CEMENTFREE®). Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio retrospectivo con pacientes sometidos a un reemplazo total de cadera con vástago CEMENTFREE®, entre enero de 2015 y agosto de 2020, a cargo del mismo cirujano y en la misma institución. Resultados: Se implantaron 46 vástagos sin cementación en 42 pacientes (rango etario: 60-81 años). El seguimiento promedio fue de 3 años (mín. 1 año, máx. 5 años). Aplicando el Harris Hip Score se observó una franca mejoría (promedio 47 en el preoperatorio y 93 después de la cirugía). La tasa de supervivencia fue del 100% a los 5 años. Conclusión: La artroplastia de cadera con el vástago CEMENTFREE® de fabricación nacional ha demostrado ser una opción comparable con otros vástagos importados, en cuanto a los resultados clínicos y radiográficos a corto plazo. Resta evaluar los resultados a mediano y largo plazo. Nivel de Evidencia: IV

Introduction: The stability of the femoral component and its resistance to subsidence are critical factors to achieve correct osseointegration and subsequent clinical success in cementless total hip arthroplasty. Few studies have evaluated the results of nationally manufactured stems, even in the short and medium term. Our objective is to clinically and radiologically analyze patients undergoing a total hip replacement with a nationally manufactured femoral component (Cementfree® stem).materials and methods: We carried out a retrospective study on patients who had undergone a total hip replacement with the Cementfree® stem between January 2015 and August 2020 by the same surgeon and at the same institution.Results: 46 uncemented stems were implanted in 42 patients with an age range between 60 and 81 years. The average follow-up was 3 years, with a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 5 years. There was an evident improvement in the Harris Hip Score (an average of 47 preoperatively vs. 93 after surgery). The revision of the stem for aseptic loosening, in the Kaplan Meier analysis, demonstrated a 100% survival rate at 5 years. Conclusion: According to the results obtained in this research, hip arthroplasty with the nationally manufactured Cementfree® stem has proven to be an option comparable to other imported stems in terms of short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes. An evaluation of the outcomes in the medium and long term is pending. Level of Evidence: IV

Comparação da expansão óssea promovida pela técnica de osseodensificação com dois tipos de conjunto de fresas / Comparison of bone expansion promoted by the osseodensification technique with two types of drill sets

Introdução: A estabilidade primária é um importante indicador de sucesso da osseointegração. Porém, fatores locais com osso de baixa intensidade podem interferir negativamente na obtenção da estabilidade primária. Objetivo: O presente estudo avaliou o efeito de diferentes direções, velocidades de rotação e sistemas de fresagem na expansão de perfurações e estabilidade de implantes instalados em blocos mimetizando osso do tipo IV. Material e método: Foram instalados 50 implantes em blocos de poliuretano sólido rígido. Esses implantes foram igualmente divididos em cinco grupos (n = 10): 1) Fresa Maximus (utilizadas no sentido horário a 1200rpm); 2) Fresa Maximus (utilizadas no sentido horário a 600rpm); 3) Fresa Neodent (utilizadas no sentido horário a 800rpm); 4) Fresa Neodent (utilizadas no sentido anti-horário a 800rpm); 5) Fresa Neodent (utilizadas no sentido anti-horário a 600rpm). Foram executadas análises de estabilidade dos implantes através de testes de torque de inserção e remoção, além das análises de frequência de ressonância. Adicionalmente, a expansão associada às perfurações promovida pelas brocas foi avaliada por meio de análises tomográficas. Resultado: Verificou-se que os implantes instalados após o preparo da perfuração com as brocas Maximus a 600rpm apresentaram valores de torque de inserção maiores, quando comparados ao grupo de implantes instalados em perfurações confeccionadas com brocas Neodent. Ademais, as brocas Maximus apresentaram valores de expansão maiores que as brocas Neodent. Conclusão: As brocas Maximus são mais eficientes em promover a osseodensificação, e sua utilização está associada ao aumento da estabilidade dos implantes instalados em blocos mimetizando osso do tipo IV.

Introduction: Primary stability is an important indicator to obtain a successful osseointegration. However, local factors like bone with low density can negatively interfere in obtaining primary stability. Objective: This study assessed the effect of different drilling systems, speeds, and movement directions on the expansion of perforations and the stability of implants placed in blocks that mimicked type IV bone. Material and method: Fifty implants were installed in rigid solid polyurethane blocks and equally divided into the following five groups (n = 10): 1) Maximus Driller (on a clockwise direction at 1200rpm); 2) Maximus Driller (on a clockwise direction at 600rpm); 3) Neodent Driller (on a clockwise direction at 800rpm); 4) Neodent Driller (on a counter clockwise direction at 800rpm); 5) Neodent Driller (on a counter clockwise direction at 600rpm). The stability analyses of the implants were performed through insertion and removal torque testing, in addition to resonance frequency analysis. Additionally, the expansion promoted by the drills associated with the perforations was assessed through tomographic analysis. Result: We found that implants placed after drilling preparation with Maximus drills at 600 rpm had higher values of insertion torque than the group of implants installed in drillings made with Neodent drills. In addition, the maximus drills showed higher expansion values than the Neodent drills. Conclusion Maximus drills are more efficient in promoting osseodensification and their use was associated with increased stability of implants installed in blocks that mimicked type IV bone.

Diagnosis, etiology, prevention and treatment in retrograde peri-implantitis / 中华口腔医学杂志

Retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI), a kind of rare biological complication in implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation, has been reported more frequently in recent years. RPI is defined as the periapical lesion that occurs following implant placement while the coronal part of the implant achieves normal osseointegration. Due to the possibilities of asymptomatic clinical scenarios, RPI can easily be ignored if routine radiographic examination is absent postoperatively, which may postpone treatment and affect long-term outcome. The common cause is infection originating from the periapical lesion of the neighboring teeth, the residual bacteria at the implant site, the contaminated implant apex and etc. Treatment methods rely on the infection source and severity of defect. This article discusses the diagnosis, classification, etiology, and pathology as well as prevention and treatment of RPI in order to provide evidence for clinical decisions in the future.

Terapêutica medicamentosa na Implantodontia: proposta de protocolo clínico / Implantodontic drug therapeutics: proposal of clinical protocol

Este estudo objetivou analisar a terapêutica medicamentosa em implantodontia e propor um protocolo clínico baseado em evidências. Os implantes dentários revolucionaram o tratamento reabilitador em Odontologia com elevadas taxas de sucesso na sua realização. Por se tratarem de procedimentos de natureza invasiva e graças as características dos pacientes que se submetem a este tratamento, seu operador deverá considerar alguns aspectos que serão imprescindíveis para o sucesso do procedimento, aspectos que vão desde o condicionamento emocional do paciente no pré-operatório, os cuidados na escolha da solução anestésica a ser empregada, a efetividade no controle da dor e do edema inflamatório bem como a prevenção de algumas complicações como a infecção dos tecidos perimplantares. Protocolos farmacológicos atrelados a prática implantodôntica são escassos na literatura atual e diante disto foi sugerida a inserção de uma proposta de esquema terapêutico farmacológico que poderá ser utilizado como protocolo nas mais variadas situações enfrentadas pelo operador durante as cirurgias em implantodontia... (AU)

This study aimed to analyze drug therapy in implantology and to propose an evidence-based clinical protocol. Dental implants have revolutionized dental rehabilitation treatment with high success rates. Because they are invasive procedures and due to the characteristics of patients undergoing this treatment, your operator should consider some aspects that will be essential for the success of the procedure, aspects ranging from the emotional conditioning of the patient preoperatively, care in choosing the anesthetic solution to be employed, effectiveness in controlling pain and inflammatory edema, as well as the prevention of some complications such as infection of the perimplant tissues. Pharmacological protocols linked to implantodontic practice are scarce in the current literature and, therefore, it was suggested to insert a proposal for a pharmacological therapeutic scheme that can be used as a protocol in the most varied situations faced by the operator during implant surgery...

Introduction: The design of the femoral implant is essential for its adaptation to the different types of femoral canals. The objective of this study is to describe the adaptability of the implant and the type of fixation (fill and fit) of second-generation flat femoral stems compared to first-generation femoral stems. Materials and Methods: We described the radiological characteristics of patients who had undergone bilateral total hip replacement between 2007 and 2020 in our institution with both a first-generation Accolade TMZF (Stryker Orthopedics) and a second-generation Accolade II (Stryker Orthopedics) flat cementless femoral implant. Demographic variables, adaptation, and canal filling were studied. The modified Harris Hip Score and the WOMAC index were analyzed. Results: Forty-two patients (84 cases) were included in the sample. In group 1 (Accolade TMZF) we obtained an average canal fill of 81% and in group 2 (Accolade II), we obtained an average of 84%. In group 1, the type of fixation (fit) was type 1 (60%), type 2 (16%) and type 3 (24%). In group 2, it was type 1 (88%), type 2 (7%) and type 3 (5%). The modified Harris Hip Score for group 1 was 88 and, for group 2, 87.5. The WOMAC score for group 1 was 2.5 and for group 2 it was 3. Conclusion: The adaptability of the implant is essential for primary stability and its osseointegration/biological fixation. This adaptability is more precise with second-generation flat femoral stems. Level of Evidence: IV

Introduction: Major bone defects represent a challenge during revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and there is still considerable debate about the best therapeutic option. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the osseointegration rate of trabecular metal cones in revision TKA with severe bone defects. The secondary purpose was to evaluate the functional outcomes and complication and reoperation rates. Materials and Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort including all consecutive cases of revision TKA using trabecular metal cones. All patients with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included in the study. Reasons for revision, number of previous surgeries, type of bone defect, and number and type of trabecular cones used were evaluated. Clinical and radiological outcomes were also analyzed as well as complications rates. Results: 35 patients (49 cones) were evaluated with a mean follow-up of 32.1 months (24-62). Most defects were localized in the tibia and were classified as AORI type 3. The rate of osseointegration of the cones was 94%; the complication rate, 20%; and the reoperation rate, 8.5%. The mean KSS increased from 39 preoperatively to 71 at the last follow-up, and the mean VAS from 8 to 2.5. Conclusion: The excellent osseointegration rate (94%), added to the good clinical outcomes, position the trabecular metal cones as an alternative to treat severe bone defects. Level of Evidence: IV

Effect of different low-level intensity laser therapy (LLLT) irradiation protocols on the osseointegration of implants placed in grafted areas

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of different protocols of low-level intensity laser therapy (LLLT) irradiation on the osseointegration of implants placed in grafted areas. Methodology 84 rats were randomly allocated into six groups: DBB: defect filled with deproteinized bovine bone; HA/TCP: defect filled with biphasic ceramic of hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate ; DBB-LI: defect filled with DBB and treated with LLLT after implant placement; HA/TCP-LI: defect filled with HA/TCP and treated with LLLT after implant placement; DBB-LIB: defect filled with DBB and treated with LLLT after graft procedure and implant placement; and HA/TCP-LIB: defect filled HA/TCP and treated with LLLT after graft procedure and implant placement. The bone defects were made in the tibia and they were grafted. After 60 days, the implants were placed. The rats were subsequently subjected to euthanasia 15 and 45 days after implant placement. The pattern of osseointegration and bone repair in the grafted area was evaluated by biomechanical, microtomographic, and histometric analyses. Furthermore, the expression of bone biomarker proteins was assessed. Results The LLLT groups presented higher removal torque, mineralized tissue volume, and a greater degree of osseointegration, especially when LLLT was performed only after implant placement, and these findings were associated with higher expression of BMP2 and alkaline phosphatase. Conclusion LLLT performed on implants placed in grafted areas enhances the osseointegration process.

Estudo comparativo da osseointegração de implantes manufaturados em Ti-cp ou Ti6Al4V com ou sem superfície modificada por ablação a laser: caracterização topográfica, análises biomecânica, histólogica e imunoistoquímica / Comparative study of osseointegration of implants manufactured in cp-Ti or Ti6Al4V with or without modified surface by laser beam: topographic characterization, biomechanical, histological and immunohistochemical analyzes

A proposição do trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento biológico e mecânico ao tecido ósseo periimplantar em implantes manufaturados em Ti-cp com superfícies usinada (CPMS) e modificada por LASER (CPLS) e implantes manufaturados em Ti6Al4V com superfícies usinada (ALLOYMS) e modificada por LASER (ALLOYLS). As superfícies foram analisadas por meio da microscopia eletrônica de varredura acoplado a espectroscopia por energia dispersiva de raios X (MEV-EDX) previamente a cirurgia experimental. Noventa e seis (2x4mm) implantes foram instalados em leitos cirúrgicos fresados nas tíbias direita e esquerda de 48 ratos Wistar machos, sendo um implante de cada material (metal) ou superfície instalado em cada tíbia. Análise biomecânica foi realizada por meio do torque de remoção dos implantes em todos os grupos nos períodos de 14, 21 e 42 dias pós-operatório e as tíbias foram seccionadas e processadas para análise histológica e imunoistoquímica. Posteriormente, foi realizada MEV-EDX dos implantes removidos por torque reverso em todos os períodos de análises. Os dados obtidos na análise biomecânica foram submetidos à análise estatística (p< 0,05). MEV-EDX antes da instalação dos implantes apresentou diferença entre as superfícies usinadas e modificadas por LASER, independente do metal do implante. O torque de remoção de ALLOYLS foi estatisticamente superior a CPLS, CPMS e ALLOYMS em 14 e 21 dias (p < 0,05), bem como CPLS foi estatisticamente superior a CPMS e ALLOYMS. Aos 42 dias CPLS e ALLOYLS apresentaram diferenças estatística quando comparados com CPMS e ALLOYMS (p< 0,05), porém não foi observada diferença entre CPLS e ALLOYLS (p = 0,07). O MEV-EDX dos implantes removidos por contra-torque evidenciou o recobrimento ósseo total das superfícies de CPLS e ALLOYLS, independe do período analisado e um aumento gradual de recobrimento ósseo nas superfícies de CPMS e ALLOYMS nos períodos de 14, 21 e 42 dias respectivamente, sendo que o CPLS aos 42 dias apresentou característica de tecido ósseo mais maturo. Na análise histológica qualitativa observa-se um tecido ósseo mais maturo, sugerindo aceleração do processo de reparo ósseo nos grupos CPLS e ALLOYLS. Para análise imunoistoquímica observou-se uma maior expressão de OPN (osteopontina) para os grupos ALLOYLS 14 e 21 dias pós-operatório, surgindo de maior ativação celular. Os implantes com modificação de superfície por ablação a LASER, independente do material manufaturado, proporcionaram importantes modificações físico-químicas na superfície, permitindo melhor embricamento mecânico com o tecido ósseo e aceleração do processo de osseointegração quando comparados com implantes com superfície usinada(AU)

This study aimed to evaluate the biological and mechanical behavior of peri-implant bone tissue in implants manufactured in cp-Ti with machined surfaces (CPMS) and modified by LASER (CPLS) and implants manufactured in Ti6Al4V with machined surfaces (ALLOYMS) and modified by LASER (ALLOYLS). The surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy coupled with X-ray dispersive energy spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) prior to experimental surgery. Ninety-six (2x4mm) implants were installed in surgical beds milled in the right and left tibias of 48 male Wistar rats, one implant of each material (metal) or surface installed in each tibia. Biomechanical analysis was performed using the implant removal torque in all groups in the periods of 14, 21 and 42 days postoperatively and the tibias were sectioned and processed for histological and immunohistochemical analysis. The data obtained in the biomechanical analysis were submitted to statistical analysis (p < 0.05). The SEM-EDX before the installation of the implants showed a difference between the surfaces machined and modified by LASER, regardless of the metal of the implant. The removal torque of ALLOYLS was statistically higher than CPLS, CPMS and ALLOYMS in 14 and 21 days (p < 0.05), as well as CPLS was statistically higher than CPMS and ALLOYMS. In 42 days CPLS and ALLOYLS showed statistical differences when compared to CPMS and ALLOYMS (p < 0.05), however no difference was observed between CPLS and ALLOYLS (p = 0.07). The SEM-EDX of the implants removed by removal torque showed the total bone coverage of the surfaces of CPLS and ALLOYLS, regardless of the analyzed period and a gradual increase in bone coverage on the surfaces of CPMS and ALLOYMS in the periods of 14, 21 and 42 days respectively, CPLS in 42 days showed a mature bone tissue. In the qualitative histological analysis, a mature bone can be observed, suggesting an acceleration of the repair process in the CPLS and ALLOYLS groups. For immunohistochemical analysis, a higher expression of OPN (osteopontin) was observed for the ALLOYLS groups in 14 and 21 days, arising from higher cellular activation. The implants with surface modification by LASER beam, regardless of the material manufactured, provided important physical-chemical modifications on the surface, allowing better mechanical resistance with bone tissue and acceleration of the osseointegration process when compared to implants with machined surfasse(AU)

Avaliação do efeito sinérgico entre risedronato sistêmico e genisteína local sobre o reparo peri-implantar em ratas com deficiência de estrógeno e síndrome metabólica / Evaluation of the synergistic effect between systemic Risedronate and local Genistein on peri-implant repair in strogen deficient rats and metabolic syndrome

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a ação sinérgica do risedronato de sódio sistêmico e da genisteína administrada localmente, através da funcionalização de implantes, de ratas submetidas a ovariectomia e com hábitos de mimetizam a síndrome metabólica. A parte in vitro deste estudo foi executado em 2 etapas. Na primeira etapa, foi realizada a funcionalização da superfície de discos/implantes com genistína na concentração de 100 µM pela técnica layer by layer (lbl). Na segunda etapa foram feitos testes biológicos em culturas de células, para avaliar as propriedades da superfície funcionalizada, quanto às respostas osteogênicas. Para a cultura de células foram utilizadas células mesenquimais diferenciadas em osteoblastos, isoladas de fêmures de ratos. Após a validação pelos testes executados nas superfícies funcionalizadas, foi realizado estudo in vivo (3ª etapa). Para tanto, no dia 0, as ratas Wistar adultas jovens, fêmeas (n=64) foram divididas em 4 grupos: 1- SHAM (n= 16), animais foram submetidos à ovariectomia (OVX) fictícia e dieta balanceada. 2- SHAM Síndrome Metabólica (SM) (n=16), animais foram submetidos à ovariectomia fictícia e dieta de cafeteria. 3- OVX SM (n=16), animais foram submetidos à ovariectomia bilateral e dieta de cafeteria. 4- OVX SM Risedronato (RIS) (n=16), animais foram submetidos à ovariectomia bilateral, dieta de cafeteria e tratadas com risedronato de sódio. Em cada grupo há 2 subgrupos: A- implantes convencionais e B- implantes funcionalizados com genisteína. No dia 30, foi iniciado o tratamento medicamentoso com risedronato de sódio, na concentração de 0,35mg/kg, ou apenas solução salina, via gavagem, 1 vez por semana. Passados 60 dias da medicação (dia 90), todos os animais foram submetidos à cirurgia para exodontia dos 1os molares superiores bilateralmente e, imediatamente, no alvéolo da raiz mesial, foi instalado os implantes com superfície convencional ou funcionalizada. Os animais foram eutanasiados aos 28 dias (dia 118) após a instalação dos implantes para mensuração do torque de falha na interface osso implante em N/cm. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de homocedasticidade (Shapiro Wilk). Houve a confirmação de distribuição normal dos dados amostrais e na sequência, foi realizado o teste paramétrico ANOVA One Way or Two Way, seguido do pós teste de Tukey, com o nível de significância de 5% (p< 0,05). Concluiu-se que, a concentração de 100 µM da genisteína manteve a viabilidade celular e resultados favoráveis quanto a genotoxicidade. A dieta de cafeteria e a ovariectomia bilateral mimetizam a síndrome metabólica e a predisposição para osteoporose por deficiência de esteroides gonadais. E, a ação sinérgica entre fármaco sistêmico (risedronato de sódio) e genisteína local foi promissora para a melhora no processo de reparo periimplantar, principalmente no grupo SHAM e OVX SM RIS(AU)

The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic action of systemic risedronate sodium and locally administered genistein, through implant functionalization, of rats submitted to ovariectomy and with habits mimicking the metabolic syndrome. The in vitro part of this study was performed in 2 steps. In the first step, the surface functionalization of discs/implants was performed with genistein at a concentration of 100 µM by the layer by layer (lbl) technique. In the second step biological tests were performed in cell cultures to evaluate the properties of the functionalized surface for osteogenic responses. For the cell culture, mesenchymal cells differentiated into osteoblasts, isolated from rat femurs, were used. After validation by tests performed on the functionalized surfaces, the in vivo study (third test) was performed. For this purpose, on day 0, young adult female Wistar rats (n=64) were divided into 4 groups: 1- SHAM (n=16), animals were submitted to sham ovariectomy (OVX) and balanced diet. 2- SHAM Metabolic Syndrome (MS) (n=16), animals were submitted to sham ovariectomy and cafeteria diet. 3- OVX SM (n=16), animals underwent bilateral ovariectomy and cafeteria diet. 4- OVX SM Risedronate (RIS) (n=16), animals underwent bilateral ovariectomy, cafeteria diet and treated with risedronate sodium. In each group there are 2 subgroups: A- conventional implants and B- implants functionalized with genistein. On day 30, drug treatment was started with risedronate sodium, at a concentration of 0.35 mg/kg, or just saline solution, via gavage, once a week. After 60 days of medication (day 90), all animals underwent surgery to extract the 1st upper molars bilaterally, and implants with conventional or functionalized surfaces were immediately installed in the mesial root alveolus. The animals were euthanized at 28 days (day 118) after implant installation to measure the failure torque at the implant-bone interface in N/cm. The data were submitted to the homoscedasticity test (Shapiro Wilk). The normal distribution of the sample data was confirmed and then the parametric One Way or Two Way ANOVA test was performed, followed by Tukey's post-test, with a significance level of 5% (p< 0.05). It was concluded that, the concentration of 100 µM of genistein maintained cell viability and favorable results regarding genotoxicity. The cafeteria diet and bilateral ovariectomy mimic the metabolic syndrome and predisposition to osteoporosis by gonadal steroid deficiency. And, the synergistic action between systemic drug (risedronate sodium) and local genistein was promising for the improvement in the periimplant repair process, especially in the SHAM and OVX SM RIS groups(AU)

Integration of heterologous bone matrix associated with polymethylmethacrylate in induced tibial bone defects. An experimental study in rabbits

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze and compare the reactions at the interface between the composite, composed of fragmented heterologous mineralized bone matrix (MOMHF) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and the rabbit's tibias, through macroscopic evaluation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in different periods. Methods In this study, 12 New Zealand adult rabbits were used (E1: n = 3, E2: n = 3, E3: n = 3 and E4: n = 3). They had the right tibial defects filled with composite and were evaluated immediately after surgery and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. Results The composites were incorporated and integrated into the recipient beds in 100% of the cases, defined by the MOMHF osseointegration and the PMMA fibrointegration, with no sign of infection, migration, or rejection. Conclusions The behavior of the composites in the recipient beds demonstrates that these biomaterials have the potential to be used in bone defect repairs, offering, thus, better quality of life to the orthopedic patient.
