ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: To avoid cortical compression, several implant systems have included in the protocol dedicated drills aimed at widening the cortical region of osteotomy. However, the manual execution of this operation does not guarantee the necessary precision. Hence, the present study aimed to determine the optimal size of the recipient site at the level of the alveolar crest in relation to the size of the coronal region of the implant to achieve the best healing result. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blades of different diameters were incorporated into the coronal part of the implant to prepare the cortical region of the mandibular alveolar bone crest in different dimensions in relation to the collar of the implant. The differences in diameter of the blades in relation to the collar of the implant were as follows: one control group, -175 µm, and three test groups, 0 µm, + 50 µm, or + 200 µm. RESULTS: The marginal bone loss (MBL) at the buccal aspect was 0.7 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.2 mm, and 0.7 mm in the - 175 µm, 0.0 µm, + 50 µm, + 200 µm groups, respectively. The differences were statistically significant between group + 50 µm and control group - 175 µm (p = 0.019), and between + 50 µm and + 200 µm (p < 0.01) groups. The level of osseointegration at the buccal aspect was more coronally located in the test groups than in the control group, whereas the bone-to-implant contact percentage was higher in the + 50 µm and + 200 µm groups. However, these differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The lowest bone crest resorption and highest levels of osseointegration were observed in the 0.0 µm and + 50 µm groups. The cortical region where the blades had performed their cutting action showed regular healing with perfect hard and soft tissues sealing in all the groups. Cortical blades gathered bone particles, particularly in the + 200 µm group, which were incorporated into the newly formed bone. The results from the present experiment provide support to the use of blades that produce a marginal gap of 50 µm after implant insertion.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Healing of critical-size defects is a well-known problem that has been challenged in several studies. The aim of the experiment was to evaluate bone formation and osseointegration of implants installed in critical defects of the mandibular body simultaneously grafted with Bio-Oss® or Cerabone®. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Defects, 10 mm wide and 3 mm deep, were prepared at both lateral aspects of the mandible in 12 rabbits. One implant was installed in the center of the defect, and bovine xenografts produced either at low (Bio-Oss®; Low-T) or high (Cerabone®; High-T) temperatures were used to fill the defects. A collagen membrane was placed to cover the sites. Healing was evaluated 10 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: In both groups, most sites showed optimal healing with closure of the coronal entrance of the defects. However, residual defects occupied by soft tissues and biomaterial particles were observed, even though generally limited to some regions of the defect. Osseointegration of the implant surface in the region of the defect was poor in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Circumferential marginal critical-size defects around implants filled with bovine xenografts presented regions with a complete healing in both groups. However, the healing was not complete at all regions in most defects; therefore, a complete optimal healing of critical-size marginal defects cannot be predicted.
