Abstract
Being as a non-pharmacological medical intervention, low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) has shown a positive effect on bone induction and remodeling for various muscle diseases in animal studies, among which dental implants osteointegration were reported to be improved as well. However, whether LMHFV can be clinically used in dental implant is still unknown. In this study, efficacy, parameters and side effects of LMHFV were analyzed via data before 15th July 2020, collecting from MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Ovid and Cochrane Library databases. In the screened 1,742 abstracts and 45 articles, 15 animal studies involving 972 implants were included. SYRCLE's tool was performed to assess the possible risk of bias for each study. The GRADE approach was applied to evaluate the quality of evidence. Random effects meta-analysis detected statistically significant in total BIC (P < 0.0001) and BV/TV (P = 0.001) upon loading LMHFV on implants. To conclude, LMHFV played an active role on BIC and BV/TV data according to the GRADE analysis results (medium and low quality of evidence). This might illustrate LMHFV to be a worthy way in improving osseointegration clinically, especially for osteoporosis.

Clin Oral Implants Res 2021; 32:641-650. [PMID: 33711168 DOI: 10.1111/clr.13738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were (i) to compare the osteogenic impact of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and low-magnitude high-frequency (LMHF) loading achieved with whole-body vibration (WBV) on peri-implant bone healing and implant osseointegration in rat tibiae, and (ii) to examine their combined effect on these processes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Titanium implants were inserted in the bilateral tibiae of 28 Wistar rats. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: LIPUS + WBV, LIPUS, WBV, and control. LIPUS was applied to the implant placement site for 20 min/day on 5 days/week (1.5 MHz and 30 mW/cm2 ). WBV was applied for 15 min/day on 5 days/week (50 Hz and 0.5 g). In the LIPUS + WBV group, both stimuli were applied under the same stimulation conditions as in the LIPUS and WBV groups. After 4 weeks of treatment, peri-implant bone healing and implant osseointegration were assessed using removal torque (RT) tests, micro-CT analyses of relative gray (RG) value, and histomorphometrical analyses of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and peri-implant bone formation (BV/TV). RESULTS The LIPUS + WBV group had significantly greater BIC than the WBV and control groups. Although there were no significant intergroup differences in RT, RG value, and BV/TV, these variables tended to be greater in the LIPUS + WBV group than the other groups. CONCLUSIONS The combination of LIPUS and LMHF loading may promote osteogenic activity around the implant. However, further study of the stimulation conditions of LIPUS and LMHF loading is necessary to better understand the osteogenic effects and the relationship between the two stimuli.

Abstract
Bone is a mechanosensitive tissue for which mechanical stimuli are crucial in maintaining its structure and function. Bone cells react to their biomechanical environment by activating molecular signaling pathways, which regulate their proliferation, differentiation, and matrix production. Bone implants influence the mechanical conditions in the adjacent bone tissue. Optimizing their mechanical properties can support bone regeneration. Furthermore, external biomechanical stimulation can be applied to improve implant osseointegration and accelerate bone regeneration. One promising anabolic therapy is vertical whole-body low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV). This form of vibration is currently extensively investigated to serve as an easy-to-apply, cost-effective, and efficient treatment for bone disorders and regeneration. This review aims to provide an overview of LMHFV effects on bone cells in vitro and on implant integration and bone fracture healing in vivo. In particular, we review the current knowledge on cellular signaling pathways which are influenced by LMHFV within bone tissue. Most of the in vitro experiments showed that LMHFV is able to enhance mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and osteoblast proliferation. Furthermore, osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and osteoblasts was shown to be accelerated by LMHFV, whereas osteoclastogenic differentiation was inhibited. Furthermore, LMHFV increased bone regeneration during osteoporotic fracture healing and osseointegration of orthopedic implants. Important mechanosensitive pathways mediating the effects of LMHFV might be the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, the estrogen receptor (ER) signaling pathway, and cytoskeletal remodeling.

Abstract
For decades, the osteogenic effect from different physical activities on bone in rodents remained uncertain. This literature review presents for the first time the effects on five exercise models (treadmill running, wheel running, swimming, resistance training and vibration modes) in three different experimental rat groups (males, females, osteopenic) on bone quality. The bone parameters presented are bone mineral density, micro-architectural and mechanical properties, and osteoblast/osteocyte and osteoclast parameters. This review shows that physical activities have a positive effect (65% of the results) on bone status, but we clearly observed a difference amongst the different protocols. Even if treadmill running is the most used protocol, the resistance training constitutes the first exercise model in term of osteogenic effects (87% of the whole results obtained on this model). The less osteogenic model is the vibration mode procedure (31%). It clearly appears that the gender plays a role on the bone response to swimming and wheel running exercises. Besides, we did not observe negative results in the osteopenic population with impact training, wheel running and vibration activities. Moreover, about osteoblast/osteocyte parameters, we conclude that high impact and resistance exercise (such jumps and tower climbing) seems to increase bone formation more than running or aerobic exercise. Among the different protocols, literature has shown that the treadmill running procedure mainly induces osteogenic effects on the viability of the osteocyte lineage in both males and females or ovariectomized rats; running in voluntary wheels contributes to a negative effect on bone metabolism in older male models; whole-body vertical vibration is not an osteogenic exercise in female and ovariectomized rats; whereas swimming provides controversial results in female models. For osteoclast parameters only, running in a voluntary wheel for old males, the treadmill running program at high intensity in ovariectomized rats, and the swimming program in a specific ovariectomy condition have detrimental consequences.

Abstract
PURPOSE Low-magnitude, high-frequency (LMHF) loading plays an important role in bone healing. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of LMHF loading applied directly to titanium dental implants on peri-implant bone healing and implant osseointegration. METHODS The mandibular premolars and molars were extracted from six male Beagle dogs. Three months post-extraction, each of the six dogs had three titanium implants (Aadva Standard Implant Narrow, Φ3.3×8mm) inserted into the mandibular premolar and molar area (three implants per side). In each animal, one side was randomly selected to undergo daily LMHF loading (treatment group), while the other side had no further intervention (control). The loading was applied directly to the implant abutment using an individual jig and a custom-made loading device (8μm, 100Hz). The implant stability quotient (ISQ) was tested every week. Three dogs were euthanized after 2 weeks, and three were euthanized after 8 weeks. Tissue samples were fixed and stained for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histomorphometric analyses. Data were analyzed statistically, with significance set at p<0.05. RESULTS The treatment group had significantly increased peri-implant bone volume relative to tissue volume in region of interest 2 (100-500μm) compared with the control group after 2 weeks of loading (p<0.05); however, there was no significant difference between groups after 8 weeks. The ISQ value and the micro-CT results did not differ between groups during the study period. CONCLUSIONS LMHF loading positively influenced peri-implant bone healing in the early healing period.

Enhanced bone healing in porous Ti implanted rabbit combining bioactive modification and mechanical stimulation. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2018; 86:336-344.

Abstract
To improve the bone healing efficiency of porous titanium implants, desired biological properties of implants are mandatory, involving bioactivity, osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity and a stable environment. In this study, bare porous titanium (abbr. pTi) with the porosity of 70% was fabricated by vacuum diffusion bonding of titanium meshes. Hydroxyapatite-coated pTi (abbr. Hap-pTi) was obtained by successively subjecting pTi to alkali heat treatment, pre-calcification and simulated body fluid. Both pTi and Hap-pTi were respectively implanted into the tibia defect model (ϕ10 mm × 6 mm) in New Zealand white rabbits, then subjected to non-invasively axial compressive loads at high-magnitude low-frequency (HMLF), which were denoted as F-pTi and F-Hap-pTi, respectively. Bone repairing efficiencies were analyzed by postoperative X-ray examination, optical observation and HE staining after 14 and 30 days of implantation. ALP and OCN contents in serum were also examined at 30 days. Results showed that the sham group and sham group with mechanical stimulation (abbr. F-sham) preferably caused bone fractures. Qualitatively, Hap-pTi reduced the risk of bone fractures and enhanced bone healing slightly more effectively compared to bared pTi. However, both Hap-pTi combined with mechanical stimulation and F-pTi in the case of bioactive modification could result in a higher bone healing efficiency (F-Hap-pTi). The molecular signaling investigation of ALP and OCN contents in serum further revealed a probable synergistic effect of Hap coating coupling with HMLF compression on improving bone repairing efficiency. It provides a candidate of clinically applicable therapy for osseous defects.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of low-magnitude, high-frequency (LMHF) loading, and anti-osteoporosis medications such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bisphosphonates on peri-implant bone healing in an osteoporosis model, and to assess their combined effects on these processes. Thirteen-week-old ovariectomized rats (n = 44) were divided into three groups: PTH, alendronate, and saline. After 3 weeks of drug administration, titanium implants were inserted into the tibiae. Each group was subdivided into two groups: with or without LMHF loading via whole-body vibration (50 Hz at 0.5 g, 15 min per day, 5 days per week). Rats were killed 4 weeks following implantation. Removal torque test, micro-CT analyses (relative gray (RG) value, water = 0, and implant = 100), and histomorphometric analyses (bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and peri-implant bone formation (bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV))) were performed. Removal torque values and BIC were significantly differed by loading and drug administration (ANOVA). Post hoc analysis showed that PTH-treated groups were significantly higher than the other drug-treated groups. BV/TV was significantly enhanced by PTH administration. In cortical bone, RG values were significantly increased by loading. In trabecular bone, however, RG values were significantly increased by PTH administration. These findings suggest that LMHF loading and PTH can act locally and additively on the bone healing process, improving the condition of implant osseointegration. Whole-body vibration and administration of a hormone used to treat osteoporosis can enhance bone healing at the site of a titanium implant. Toru Ogawa of Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry in Sendai, Japan, and colleagues gave anti-osteoporosis medications, either parathyroid hormone or the bisphosphonate drug alendronate, to female rat models of osteoporosis. After three weeks of drug administration or a saline control, the researchers inserted titanium implants into the rats’ leg bones. Half the rats were then exposed to whole-body vibration, which applies low-magnitude, high-frequency mechanical forces. A multitude of tests showed that parathyroid hormone improved bone healing at the implant more than alendronate or saline did. The vibrational stimulus further increased the healing. The findings suggest that these treatments could aid in oral bone healing for patients receiving dental implants.

Abstract
Vibrational stimulation is an accepted non-invasive method used to improve bone remodeling. However, the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unclear. In this study, we developed a new vibration-loading system to apply vibrational stimulation to cells based on a previously reported in vivo study. We hypothesized that osteoblasts respond to vibrational strain by expressing osteogenic marker genes, such as alkaline-phosphatase (ALP), Runx2, and Osterix. To test our hypothesis, we developed a vibration-loading system to apply a precise vibrational force to an osteoblast culture on a silicone membrane. The system regulated frequency and acceleration of the vibration, and strain on the silicone membrane culture surface was measured using the strain gauge method. After vibrational stimulation, cellular gene expression was analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. We obtained clear strain signals from the culture surface at vibrational ranges of 1.0-10 m/s2 acceleration and frequencies of 30, 60, and 90 Hz, respectively. The strain increased in a linear fashion, depending on the acceleration magnitude. Vibrational stimulation also significantly upregulated expression of the osteogenic marker genes Runx2, Osterix, type I collagen, and ALP. In conclusion, we developed a new vibration-loading system that can precisely regulate frequency and acceleration, and we established the presence of dynamic cellular strain on a culture surface. Our findings suggest that vibrational stimulation may directly induce osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Low-intensity, high-frequency mechanical vibration (LHMV) has shown to increase bone formation. However, studies comparing the effectiveness of early- and late-treatments of LHMV to counteract bone loss have not been documented. This study was designed to compare the effects of early- and late-treatments of LHMV (at 30 Hz/0.6 g, 20 min per day/five days per week, for 12 weeks) on bone parameters in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. Thirty days after ovariectomy, 40 adult rats were randomly divided into four groups: GI (early control group); GII treated with LHMV 3 weeks after Ovx (early treatment); GIII (late control group) and GIV treated with LHMV twelve weeks after Ovx (late treatment). Bone mineral density (BMD) was analyzed before Ovx and after treatments. Then, animals were killed, and the femurs were collected and their length and diaphysis diameter were measured; the distal femurs were taken and processed for histomorphometry and polarized light microscopy for collagen fibers analysis or subjected to immunohistochemistry of cleaved caspase-3 in osteocytes. Statistical analysis was done by ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post hoc test (p < 0.05). BMD was similar among the groups before Ovx, but after treatments, it was significantly higher in GII and GIV compared with their control groups (p < 0.05). Femur length and cortical bone thickness were similar among the groups, but the diaphysis diameter of GII was higher compared with GI. Trabecular bone area was higher in the vibrated groups, but it was greater in GII (p < 0.05). Also, the vibrated groups showed the higher content collagen fibers and lower presence apoptotic osteocytes (positive caspase-3 immunoreactivity) when compared with the other groups (p < 0.05). These results suggest that both early- and late-treatments with LHMV counteract bone loss, being the early treatment more effective than the late treatment.
