Effects of the Application Local Zoledronic Acid On Different Dental Implants in Rats On Osseointegration.

Objective: Recently, a lot of research has been done around the world to popularize the osseointegration of dental implants. In this study, it was investigated the effect of local zoledronic acid application on implants with machined (MAC), resorbable blast materials (RBM), sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface implants integrated in rat tibias. Methodology: A total of 60 female Wistar rats weighing between 270 and 300 g were used in the study. The rats were passing divided into six classes: controls; MAC (n = 10), RBM (n = 10), SLA (n = 10), and local zoledronic acid (LZA) applied groups; LZA-MAC (n = 10), LZA-RBM (n=10) and LZA-SLA (n = 10) and implants were surgically placement into rat tibias in general anesthesia. After a four-week experimental period, the biomechanical bone implant connection level was determined with reverse torque analysis. Results: Osseointegration levels were detected highly in SLA and RBM surface compared with the machined surfaced implants in both control and treatment groups (p < 0.05). Additionally, local application of zoledronic acid in both three groups; implants increased the biomechanic osseointegration level compared with the controls (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In this research, we observe that the local application of the zoledronic acid could increase the osseointegration, and RBM and SLA surface could be better than machined surfaced implants in terms of bone implant connection. In addition, local application of zoledronic acid may be a safer method than systemic application.

Enhanced Bone Healing Through Systemic Capsaicin Administration: An Experimental Study on Wistar Rats.

BACKGROUND The healing of bone defects is a serious challenge worldwide. One branch of dentistry deals with bone defects. Capsaicin has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and cholesterol-reducing effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of systemic capsaicin administered at different doses on bone healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 32 male wistar rats was used, their weight varying between 250 and 300 g. The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8 rats each. The analyses served to evaluate the effect on healing of different doses of capsaicin and grafts. A significant increase was observed in the number of osteoblasts in the capsaicin-applied groups, compared with the control group. RESULTS The analyses served to evaluate the effect on healing of different doses of capsaicin and grafts. A significant increase was observed in the number of osteoblasts in the capsaicin-applied groups, compared with that of the control group. The inflammation scores showed a significant difference only in the control group and in the group administered with 50 mg/kg capsaicin (P=0.010). The osteoclast counts were significantly different between all groups. CONCLUSIONS As a result of the analyses, positive effects on bone healing were observed when capsaicin 0.25 mg/kg and 0.50 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally. However, more studies are needed for more accurate information.

Osseointegration Levels of Implants Placed With Allogenic and Xenogenic Bone Ring: An Experimental Biomechanical Analysis.

This in vivo study aimed to do a biomechanical analysis of the early period bone-implant connection of titanium implants simultaneously inserted with xsenogenic and allogenic bone ring. In this study, 28 Sprague Dawley female rats were used. Four rats were killed to obtain an allogenic bone ring, and after this, the remaining rats were divided into control (n=8), xsenogenic (n=8), and allogenic (n=8) bone ring groups. Titanium-machined surfaced implants were integrated right tibias of the rats. In controls, only implants were integrated into right tibias. In the greft groups, the implants were integrated simultaneously with bone rings. After 2 weeks of the experimental period, the rats were killed ,and titanium implants and surrounding bone tissues were removed for biomechanic analysis. After biomechanical reverse torque analysis bone-implant connection was determined as Newton/cm 2 ; in controls 3.26 (1.2 to 4.5), in allogenic ring group 3.37 (2 to 4.4), in xsenogenic ring group 5.93 (2.8 to 10). Statistically significant differences were not detected between the groups ( P >0.05). Within the limitation of this study, both allogenic and xsenogenic bone grafts could be successfully used in bone augmentation in implant surgery.

Investigation of the effects of quercetin and xenograft on the healing of bone defects: An experimental study.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to histologic and immunohistochemical examined that the effects of quercetin on new bone formation and bone regeneration in critical size rat tibial bone defects. Material & methods: In the study, 56 rats were divided into 4 groups with 14 rats in each group. Control (C) (n = 14): A defect was created in the corticocancellous bone in the metaphyseal part of the tibia bones of the rats and no additional procedure was applied until the end of the experimental setup. Xenograft (X) group (n = 14): Bone defects were created in the tibia bones of the rats and the defects were filled with xenograft. No additional process was applied until the end of the experimental setup. Quercetin (Q) group (n = 14): A defect was created in the tibia bones of the rats and 0.1 mg/kg quercetin was administered by oral gavage until the end of the experimental setup dailly. Quercetin and Xenograft (Q + X) group (n = 14): A defect was created in the corticocancellous bone in the metaphyseal part of the tibia bones of the rats and the defect was filled with xenograft. Until the end of the experimental setup, 0.1 mg/kg quercetin was administered by oral gavage dailly. Rats were sacrificed after 4. and 8 week and tibial bone collected for histomorphometic analysis. Results: It was observed that the parameters related to bone healing were higher in the quercetin administered groups compared to the controls (P < 0,05). Conclusion: Quercetin given by oral gavage may increase bone healing.

Evaluation of the effects of the systemic proton pump inhibitor-omeprazole on periimplant bone regeneration and osseointegration: An experimental study.

Objective: Investigations of the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on bone healing have revealed that they affect bone regeneration negatively. The exact mechanism by which this adverse effect on bone tissue is not known. The aim of this study is to biomechanic and biochemical investigation of the effects of the PPIs on guided periimplant bone regeneration. Material & methods: Spraque dawley rats were divided controls (n = 8): there is no treatment during 8 week experimental period, PPI- Dosage 1 (n = 8) and Dosage 2 (n = 8): 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg omeprazol applied 3 times in a week with oral gavage during 8 weeks respectfully. Bone defects created half of the implant length circumferencial after implant insertion and defects filled with bone grafts. After experimental period the rats sacrified and implants with surrounding bone tissues were removed to reverse torque analysis (Newton), blood samples collected to biochemical analysis (glucose, AST, ALT, ALP, urea, creatinin, calcium, P). Results: Biomechanic reverse torque values did not revealed any statistical differences between the groups (P > 0,05). Conclusion: According the biomechanical and biochemical parameters PPIs does not effect the periimplant guided bone regeneration.

Effects of local application of the ankaferd blood stopper on osseointegration in three different surface titanium implants.

OBJECTIVE: Researchs of the effects of ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) on bone healing metabolism have revealed that it affects bone regeneration positively. The exact mechanism by which this positive effect on bone tissue metabolism is not known. The aim of this study is to biomechanic and biochemical analysis of the effects of the local ABS application on osseointegration of 3 different surfaced titanium implants. MATERIAL & METHODS: Spraque dawley rats were divided machined surfaced (MS) (n â€‹= â€‹10), sandblasted and large acid grid (SLA) (n â€‹= â€‹10) and resorbable blast material (RBM) (n â€‹= â€‹10) surfaced implants. ABS applied locally during the surgical application of the titanium implant before insertion in bone sockets. After 4 weeks experimental period the rats sacrificed and implants with surrounding bone tissues were removed to reverse torque analysis (Newton), blood samples collected to biochemical analysis (ALP, calcium, P). RESULTS: Biomechanic bone implant contact ratio detected higher in SLA surfaced implants compared with the RBM and controls (P â€‹< â€‹0,05). Phosphor levels detected lower in RBM implant group compared with the controls and SLA (P â€‹< â€‹0,05). Additionally; phosphor levels detected highly in controls compared with the RBM implants. CONCLUSION: According the biomechanical parameters ABS may be more effective in SLA and RBM surfaced implants when locally applied.

Evaluation of Effects of Systemic Zoledronic Acid Application on Bone Maturation in the Consolidation Period in Distraction Osteogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a physiological process that generates new bone tissue formation, using progressively separated bone fragments. Recently, several techniques have been investigated to develop the maturation of the new bone tissue. Bisphosphonates was an effective material for the acceleration of bone formation in DO procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the systemic zoledronic acid application at the beginning of the consolidation period on new bone genesis in a DO model of rat femurs. The rats were divided randomly into 3 groups, as follows: Control group (CNT group) (n = 10), zoledronic acid dosage-1 (n = 10), and dosage-2 (n = 10) groups (ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2). No treatment was administered in controls, but DO was applied to the rat femurs. A single dose of 0.1 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg of zoledronic acid was administered systematically at the beginning of the consolidation period after the distraction in treatment groups, respectively. Histomorphometric analyses were performed on the original distracted bone area and the surrounding bone tissue. Osteoblasts, new bone formation, and fibrosis were scored. New bone formation in the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups, when compared with the control group, was detected highly (P < 0.05). The numbers of osteoblasts in the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups were higher when compared with the controls (P < 0.05). Fibrosis in the controls, when compared with the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups, was found to be higher (P < 0.05). Zoledronic acid application is an effective method for bone maturation in consolidation period in DO.

Biomechanical Evaluation of Implant Osseointegration After Guided Bone Regeneration With Different Bone Grafts.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical osseointegration of titanium implants after guided bone regeneration (GBR) with a hydroxyapatite graft, deproteinized bovine bone graft, human-derived allograft, and calcium sulfate bone graft. Thirty-two female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, each containing eight (n = 8) rats: hydroxyapatide (HA), deproteinized bovine bone graft (DPBB), allograft (ALG), and calcium sulfate. Bone defects were created in the tibia of the rats, which were grafted with HA, DPBB, ALG, or CP bone grafts for the purpose of GBR. Ninety days after surgery, machine-surfaced titanium implants were inserted into the area where GBR had been undertaken. After 90 days of the surgical insertion of the implants, the rats were sacrificed, the implants with surrounding bone tissue were removed, and biomechanical osseointegration (N/cm) analysis was performed. No statistically significant differences were found among the groups in osseointegration (N/cm) three months after the GBR procedures (P > 0.05). According to the biomechanical results, none of the grafts used in this study was distinctly superior to any of the others.
