BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 163:213939. [PMID: 38954876 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The bone turnover capability influences the acquisition and maintenance of osseointegration. The architectures of osteocyte three-dimensional (3D) networks determine the direction and activity of bone turnover through osteocyte intercellular crosstalk, which exchanges prostaglandins through gap junctions in response to mechanical loading. Titanium nanosurfaces with anisotropically patterned dense nanospikes promote the development of osteocyte lacunar-canalicular networks. We investigated the effects of titanium nanosurfaces on intercellular network development and regulatory capabilities of bone turnover in osteocytes under cyclic compressive loading. MLO-Y4 mouse osteocyte-like cell lines embedded in type I collagen 3D gels on titanium nanosurfaces promoted the formation of intercellular networks and gap junctions even under static culture conditions, in contrast to the poor intercellular connectivity in machined titanium surfaces. The osteocyte 3D network on the titanium nanosurfaces further enhanced gap junction formation after additional culturing under cyclic compressive loading simulating masticatory loading, beyond the degree observed on machined titanium surfaces. A prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor cancelled the dual effects of titanium nanosurfaces and cyclic compressive loading on the upregulation of gap junction-related genes in the osteocyte 3D culture. Supernatants from osteocyte monolayer culture on titanium nanosurfaces promoted osteocyte maturation and intercellular connections with gap junctions. With cyclic loading, titanium nanosurfaces induced expression of the regulatory factors of bone turnover in osteocyte 3D cultures, toward higher osteoblast activation than that observed on machined surfaces. Titanium nanosurfaces with anisotropically patterned dense nanospikes promoted intercellular 3D network development and regulatory function toward osteoblast activation in osteocytes activated by cyclic compressive loading, through intercellular crosstalk by prostaglandin.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effect of collagen cross-link deficiency on collagen fiber formation around an implant and its effect on the osseointegration process. METHODS Wistar rats were fed 0.1% beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) dissolved in water to induce collagen cross-link deficiency. Custom-made mini-implants with machined surfaces were placed proximal to the tibia. At 1, 2, and 4 weeks postoperatively, the bone area around the implant, bone-implant contact ratio, osteoclast/osteocyte activity, and osseointegration strength were evaluated using histological and immunohistochemical analyses and biomechanical tests. RESULTS Long-term disturbance of collagen cross-link formation in the BAPN group resulted in faster collagen fiber maturation than that in controls, with a defective collagen structure, low bone formation quantity, and low bone-implant contact values. Deficiency of collagen cross-links resulted in increased bone resorption and decreased osteocyte activity. CONCLUSIONS Collagen cross-linking is important for the formation of the collagen matrix, and their deficiency may impair bone activity around implants, affecting the osseointegration process.

Clin Oral Implants Res 2024; 35:305-320.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases systemic bone mass. However, the effect of PTH on osseous and soft tissue healing around implants in osteoporosis patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PTH on tissue healing around implants in ovariectomized rats and to compare systemic and intraoral administration routes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Implants were placed at the healed sites of ovariectomized rats 3 weeks after maxillary first molar extraction. Rats were randomly divided into two groups that received either daily systemic subcutaneous or local intraoral PTH administration. Maxillae were dissected to examine bone architectures with micro-computed tomography images. Histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to evaluate osseous and soft tissue healing around the implants. RESULTS Regardless of the administration route, PTH significantly increased bone area and the numbers of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes in the first and second inside and outside areas of implant threads, in addition to decreasing the number of sclerostin+ osteocytes. However, the intraoral PTH administration route was superior to the systemic route by significantly improving bone quality and promoting collagen production in the connective tissue around implants. CONCLUSIONS Parathyroid hormone administration promoted both osseous and soft tissue healing around implants, irrespective of administration route. Interestingly, intraoral administration improved the evaluated parameters more than systemic administration. Thus, the intraoral route could become a useful treatment strategy for implant treatment in osteoporosis patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
For biomechanical consideration of dental implants, an understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) load exerted on the implant is essential, but little information is available on the in vivo load, including the measuring devices.
Purpose
This review aimed to evaluate studies that used specific load-measuring devices that could be mounted on an implant to measure the functional load in vivo.
Materials and methods
An electronic search utilizing the internet research databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus was performed. The articles were chosen by two authors based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results
In all, 132 studies were selected from the database search, and 16 were selected from a manual search. Twenty-three studies were finally included in this review after a complete full-text evaluation. Eleven studies were related to the force measurements using the strain gauges, and 12 were related to the piezoelectric force transducer. The principles of the two types of devices were completely different, but the devices produced comparable outcomes. The dynamics of the load magnitude and direction on the implant during function were clarified, although the number of participants in each study was small.
Conclusions
The load exerted on the implant during function was precisely measured in vivo using specific measuring devices, such as strain gauges or piezoelectric force transducers. The in vivo load data enable us to determine the actual biomechanical status in more detail, which might be useful for optimization of the implant prosthetic design and development of related materials. Due to the limited data and difficulty of in vivo measurements, the development of a new, simpler force measurement device and method might be necessary.

Titanium nanotopography induces osteocyte lacunar-canalicular networks to strengthen osseointegration. Acta Biomater 2022; 151:613-627. [PMID: 35995407 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.08.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Osteocyte network architecture is closely associated with bone turnover. The cellular mechanosensing system regulates osteocyte dendrite formation by enhancing focal adhesion. Therefore, titanium surface nanotopography might affect osteocyte network architecture and improve the peri-implant bone tissue quality, leading to strengthened osseointegration of bone-anchored implants. We aimed to investigate the effects of titanium nanosurfaces on the development of osteocyte lacunar-canalicular networks and osseointegration of dental implants. Alkaline etching created titanium nanosurfaces with anisotropically patterned dense nanospikes, superhydrophilicity, and hydroxyl groups. MLO-Y4 mouse osteocyte-like cells cultured on titanium nanosurfaces developed neuron-like dendrites with increased focal adhesion assembly and gap junctions. Maturation was promoted in osteocytes cultured on titanium nanosurfaces compared to cells cultured on machined or acid-etched micro-roughened titanium surfaces. Osteocytes cultured in type I three-dimensional collagen gels for seven days on nano-roughened titanium surfaces displayed well-developed interconnectivity with highly developed dendrites and gap junctions compared to the poor interconnectivity observed on the other titanium surfaces. Even if superhydrophilicity and hydroxyl groups were maintained, the loss of anisotropy-patterned nanospikes reduced expression of gap junction in osteocytes cultured on alkaline-etched titanium nanosurfaces. Four weeks after placing the titanium nanosurface implants in the upper jawbone of wild-type rats, osteocytes with numerous dendrites were found directly attached to the implant surface, forming well-developed lacunar-canalicular networks around the nano-roughened titanium implants. The osseointegration strength of the nano-roughened titanium implants was significantly higher than that of the micro-roughened titanium implants. These data indicate that titanium nanosurfaces promote osteocyte lacunar-canalicular network development via nanotopographical cues and strengthen osseointegration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The clinical stability of bone-anchoring implant devices is influenced by the bone quality. The osteocyte network potentially affects bone quality and is established by the three-dimensional (3D) connection of neuron-like dendrites of well-matured osteocytes within the bone matrix. No biomaterials are known to regulate formation of the osteocyte network. The present study provides the first demonstration that titanium nanosurfaces with nanospikes created by alkali-etching treatment enhance the 3D formation of osteocyte networks by promoting osteocyte dendrite formation and maturation by nanotopographic cues, leading to strengthened osseointegration of titanium implants. Osteocytes attached to the titanium nanosurfaces via numerous cellular projections. The success of osteocyte regulation by nanotechnology paves the way for development of epoch-making technologies to control bone quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effects of early loads on bone quality and quantity around implants and to compare the effects of early loads on bone quality and quantity with the effects of conventional loads. MATERIALS AND METHODS Grade IV-titanium implants with buttress threads were placed in rat maxillary bone 4 weeks after extraction of first molars. A controlled mechanical load (10 N, 3 Hz, 1,800 cycles, 2 days/week) was started via the implants 1 and 3 weeks after implant placement for 2 weeks (early and conventional loads, respectively). Bone quality, defined as distribution of bone cells, types and orientation of collagen fibers, and production of semaphorin3A, its receptor neuropilin-1, and sclerostin, were quantitatively evaluated. RESULTS Early loads substantially and positively affected bone quality by changing the preferential alignment of collagen fibers with increased production of type I and III collagens, semaphorin3A, and neuropilin-1, increased osteoblast numbers, decreased production of sclerostin, and decreased osteoclast numbers both inside and outside the implant threads, when compared with non-loaded conditions. Conventional loads changed bone quality around implants slightly. Interestingly, early loads had significantly stronger effects on bone quality and quantity based on the evaluation parameters than conventional loads. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report to provide scientific evidence for load initiation time based on both bone quality and quantity around implants. These new findings show that implants with buttress threads transmitted early loads optimally to bone tissue by improving bone quality and quantity inside and outside the implant threads.

Contemporary Concepts in Osseointegration of Dental Implants: A Review. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:6170452.

Abstract
In a society highly conscious of esthetics, prosthetic rehabilitation of lost teeth with tissue-integrated implants has gained wide acceptance and demand by patients and clinicians. The backbone of these tissue-integrated implants is the biotechnical process of osseointegration. Although the concept has been introduced and discussed for ages, the deepening knowledge about its cellular and molecular mechanisms has led the researchers to borrow further into the factors influencing the process of osseointegration. This has aided in the hastening and improving the process of osseointegration by exploiting several, even the minutest, details and events taking place in this natural process. Recently, due to the high esthetic expectations of the patients, the implants are being loaded immediately, which demands a high degree of implant stability. Implant stability, especially secondary stability, largely depends on bone formation and integration of implants to the osseous tissues. Various factors that influence the rate and success of osseointegration can either be categorized as those related to implant characteristics like the physical and chemical macro- and microdesign of implants or the bone characteristics like the amount and quality of bone and the local and systemic host conditions, or the time or protocol followed for the functional loading of the dental implant. To address the shortcomings in osseointegration due to any of the factors, it is mandatory that continuous and reliable monitoring of the status of osseointegration is done. This review attempts to encompass the mechanisms, factors affecting, and methods to assess osseointegration, followed by a discussion on the recent advances and future perspectives in dental implantology to enhance the process of osseointegration. The review was aimed at igniting the inquisitive minds to usher further the development of technology that enhances osseointegration.

What Does Bone Corticalization around Dental Implants Mean in Light of Ten Years of Follow-Up? J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11123545.

Abstract
The phenomenon of peri-implant bone corticalization after functional loading does not yet have a definite clinical significance and impact on prognosis. An attempt was made to assess the clinical significance of this phenomenon. This prospective study included 554 patients. Standardized intraoral radiographs documenting the jawbone environment of 1556 implants were collected. The follow-up period was 10 years of functional loading. Marginal alveolar bone loss (MBL) and radiographic bone structure (bone index, BI) were evaluated in relation to intraosseous implant design features and prosthetic work performed. After five years, bone structure abnormalities expressed by a reduction of BI to 0.47 ± 0.21 and MBL = 0.88 ± 1.27 mm were observed. Both values had an inverse relationship with each other (p < 0.0001). Reference cancellous bone showed BI = 0.85 ± 0.18. The same relationship was observed after ten years of functional loading: BI = 0.48 ± 0.21, MBL = 1.49 ± 1.94 mm, and again an inverse relationship (p < 0.0001). Increasing corticalization (lower BI) is strongly associated with increasing marginal bone loss and increasing corticalization precedes future marginal bone loss. Marginal bone loss will increase as corticalization progresses.

Abstract
Osteocytes are believed to play a crucial role in mechanosensation and mechanotransduction which are important for maintenance of mechanical integrity of bone. Recent investigations have revealed that the preferential orientation of bone extracellular matrix (ECM) mainly composed of collagen fibers and apatite crystallites is one of the important determinants of bone mechanical integrity. However, the relationship between osteocytes and ECM orientation remains unclear. In this study, the association between ECM orientation and anisotropy in the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular system, which is thought to be optimized along with the mechanical stimuli, was investigated using male rat femur. The degree of ECM orientation along the femur longitudinal axis was significantly and positively correlated with the anisotropic features of the osteocyte lacunae and canaliculi. At the femur middiaphysis, there are the osteocytes with lacunae that highly aligned along the bone long axis (principal stress direction) and canaliculi that preferentially extended perpendicular to the bone long axis, and the highest degree of apatite c-axis orientation along the bone long axis was shown. Based on these data, we propose a model in which osteocytes can change their lacuno-canalicular architecture depending on the mechanical environment so that they can become more susceptible to mechanical stimuli via fluid flow in the canalicular channel.

Abstract
The surface features on implant surface can improve biologic fixation of the implant with the host bone leading to improved secondary (biological) implant stability. Application of finite element (FE) based mechanoregulatory schemes to estimate the amount of bone growth for a wide range of implant surface features is either manually intensive or computationally expensive. This study adopts an integrated approach combining FE, back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and genetic algorithm (GA) based search to evaluate optimum surface macro-textures from three representative implant models so as to enhance bone growth. Initial surface textures chosen for the implant models were based on an earlier investigation. Based on FE predicted dataset, a BPNN was formulated for faster prediction of bone growth. Using the BPNN predicted output, a GA-based search was carried out to maximize bone growth subject to clinically admissible micromotion at the bone-implant interface. The results from FE analysis and bone growth predictions from the BPNN were found to have strong correlation. The optimal osseointegration-maximized-textures (OMTs) obtained were found to offer enhanced biological fixation, as compared to that offered by the textures in the initial models. Results from the present study reveal that certain reduction in the dimension of ribs/grooves promotes bone growth. However, periodic patterns of ribs with higher and lower rib dimensions provide uniform stress environment at the interface thus promoting osseointegration.

Abstract
Porous tantalum tibial component is durable with excellent bone ingrowth, higher knee scores, and long-term survivorship. However, to our knowledge, the effect of posterior cruciate-retaining (CR) and posterior cruciate-substituting (PS) porous tantalum tibial component has not been reported. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prosthetic bone quality between CR porous tantalum tibial component and PS using three-dimensional multi-detector-row computed tomography (3D-MDCT). Porous twenty-two (22) CR total knee arthroplasties and 22 PS received 3D-MDCT at every 6 months up to 5.5 years postoperatively to assess prosthetic bone quality (bone marrow contents/tissue volumes [BMC/TV, mg/cm3]) underneath the pegs of porous tantalum modular tibial component. Clinical outcomes (Knee Society score [KSS], Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), FJS-12, Patella score) were evaluated at a minimum follow-up period of 5.5 years. No statistically significant differences were found in age, gender, body mass index, KSS, and BMC/TV volumes in the proximal tibia between the two groups before total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There were also no significant differences between the CR and PS groups with regard to BMC/TV at every 6 months up to 5.5 years after TKA. At 5.5 years postoperatively, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the KSS, WOMAC, forgotten joint score (FJS-12), and Patella score. The present study revealed that the prosthetic bone quality of the CR porous tantalum tibial component and PS were equivalent at every 6 months up to 5.5 years after TKA. This study reflects level II evidence.

Abstract
Simple Summary The bone, as a vertebrate support tissue, is capable of adapting its structure and function to the mechanical demands resulting from the loads that are produced during the performance of its activity. This regulatory action also occurs during the healing processes of a fracture. The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent a dynamic load was capable of modulating the bone healing response around a titanium implant. The study was carried out on experimental rabbits, to which dental implants were placed in the tibiae and there were two test groups, one in which they did not undergo exercise during healing period and another that ran daily during this process on a treadmill. The trail results showed an improvement in the osseointegration process of the implant in the group in which it was subjected to load. The importance of these results is that it opens the door to a better understanding of the mechanisms that can modulate bone healing, especially around dental implants, supporting implant loading protocols that are based on efficiency. Abstract Objectives: To determine the effect of mechanical loading of bone on the stability and histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants using an experimental test in an animal model. Materials and Methods: A total of 4 human implants were placed in both tibiae of 10 New Zealand rabbits (n = 40). A 6-week osseointegration was considered, and the rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (Test group) included 5 rabbits that ran on a treadmill for 20 min daily during the osseointegration period; Group B (Controls) included the other 5 that were housed conventionally. The monitored variables were related to the primary and secondary stability of the dental implants (implant stability quotient—ISQ), vertical bone growth, bone to implant contact (BIC), area of regenerated bone and the percentage of immature matrix. Results: The results of the study show a greater vertical bone growth (Group A 1.26 ± 0.48 mm, Group B 0.32 ± 0.47 mm, p < 0.001), higher ISQ values (Group A 11.25 ± 6.10 ISQ, 15.73%; Group B 5.80 ± 5.97 ISQ, 7.99%, p = 0.006) and a higher BIC (Group A 19.37%, Group B 23.60%, p = 0.0058) for implants in the test group, with statistically significant differences. A higher percentage of immature bone matrix was observed for implants in the control group (20.68 ± 9.53) than those in the test group (15.38 ± 8.84) (p = 0.108). A larger area of regenerated bone was also observed for the test implants (Group A 280.50 ± 125.40 mm2, Group B 228.00 ± 141.40 mm2), but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.121). Conclusions: The mechanical loading of bone improves the stability and the histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants.

Abstract
Background To explore the effects of topographical modification of titanium substrates at submicron level by oxalic acid treatment on bone quality and quantity around dental implants in rabbit tibiae. Methods A total of 60 blasted CP-grade IV titanium dental implants were used. Twenty-eight control implant surfaces were treated with a mixture of HCl/H2SO4, whereas 28 other test implant surfaces were treated with oxalic acid following HCl/H2SO4 treatment. Two randomly selected sets of control or test implants were placed in randomly selected proximal tibiae of 14 female Japanese white rabbits. Euthanasia was performed 4 and 8 weeks post-implant placement. Bone to implant contact (BIC), bone area fraction (BAF), ratios of mature and immature bone to total bone, and the amount and types of collagen fibers were evaluated quantitatively. Two control and two test implants were used to analyze surface characteristics. Results Treatment by oxalic acid significantly decreased Sa and increased Ra of test implant surfaces. BIC in test implants was increased without alteration of BAF and collagen contents at 4 and 8 weeks after implant placement when compared with control implants. The ratios of immature and mature bone to total bone differed significantly between groups at 4 weeks post-implantation. Treatment by oxalic acid increased type I collagen and decreased type III collagen in bone matrices around test implants when compared with control implants at 8 weeks after implant placement. The effects of topographical changes of implant surfaces induced by oxalic acid on BAF, mature bone, collagen contents, and type I collagen were significantly promoted with decreased immature bone formation and type III collagen in the later 4 weeks post-implantation. Conclusions Treatment of implant surfaces with oxalic acid rapidly increases osseointegration from the early stages after implantation. Moreover, submicron topographical changes of dental implants induced by oxalic acid improve bone quality based on bone maturation and increased production of type I collagen surrounding dental implants in the late stage after implant placement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study purpose was to examine peri-implant bone alternations around osseointegrated implants caused solely by abutment screw preload stress using different tightening torque values. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty 20- to 22-week-old Japanese white rabbits received two implants each in right and left femurs. Implants were randomly assigned to one of three tightening torque groups or the control (Cont) group. After 8 weeks, 35 Ncm torque was delivered to abutment screws in the recommended torque (RT) group (n = 16). Other screws received 70 Ncm torque as the high torque (HT) group (n = 16). Temporary tightening (TT) groups (n = 8) received only 70 Ncm torque without preload stress as screws were untightened immediately. Cont group (n = 40) remained in situ. Animals were euthanized at 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks after torque application. Micro-CT images were then taken, and undecalcified ground sections were stained with toluidine blue. RESULTS Cross-sections of cortical bone showed remodeling activities adjacent to the implant in all groups. While bone marrow spaces appearance was relatively small in Cont and TT groups, RT and HT groups showed large bone marrow spaces and extensive remodeling activity. Bone-to-implant contact was significantly less in RT and HT groups compared with Cont and TT groups at different time points (p ˂ .05). Furthermore, RT and HT groups showed significantly less bone volume and area (p ˂ .05). CONCLUSION Results suggested that preload stress without any occlusal loading might negatively affect peri-implant bone stability and initiate bone remodeling. This could alter bone mechanical properties, subsequently influencing long-term implant success.

Abstract
Custom-made implants have recently gained attention in veterinary medicine because of their ability to properly fit animal bones having a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The effect of custom-made implants on bone soundness and the regeneration process is not yet clear. We fabricated a 3D printed Ti-6Al-4V custom-made bone plate that fits the shape of the dog radius, and placed it into the radius where an osteotomy had been made. The preferential orientation of the apatite c-axis contributes to the mechanical integrity of the bone and is a reliable measure of bone quality. We determined this parameter as well as the bone shape and bone mineral density (BMD). The bone portion which lies parallel to the bone plate exhibited bone resorption, decreased BMD, and significant degradation of apatite orientation, relative to the portion outside the plate, at 7 months after the operation. This demonstrates the presence of stress shielding in which applied stress is not transmitted to bone due to the insertion of a stiff bone plate. This reduced stress condition clearly influences the bone regeneration process. The apatite orientation in the regenerated site remained different even after 7 months of regeneration, indicating insufficient mechanical function in the regenerated portion. This is the first study in which the apatite orientation and BMD of the radius were evaluated under conditions of stress shielding in dogs. Our results suggest that assessment of bone repair by radiography can indicate the degree of restoration of BMD, but not the apatite orientation.

The influence of macro-textural designs over implant surface on bone on-growth: A computational mechanobiology based study. Comput Biol Med 2020; 124:103937. [PMID: 32818741 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2020.103937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The longerterm secondary stability of an uncemented implant depends primarily on the quality and extent of bone in-growth or on-growth at the bone-implant interface. Investigations are warranted to predict the influences of implant macro-textures on bone on-growth pattern. Mechanoregulatory tissue differentiation algorithms can predict such patterns effectively. There is, however, a dearth of volumetric in silico study to assess the influence of macro-textures on bone growth. The present study investigated the influence of macro-textural grooves/ribs on changes in tissue formation at the bone-implant interface by carrying out a 3D finite element (FE) analysis. Three distinct macro-textures, loosely based on commercially viable hip stem models, were comparatively assessed for varying levels of interfacial micromotion. The study predicted elevated fibrogenesis and chondrogenesis, followed by a suppressed osteogenesis for higher levels of micromotion (60 μm and 100 μm), resulting in weak bone-implant interface strength. However, small judicious modifications in implant surface texture may enhance bone growth to a considerable extent. The numerical scheme can further be used as a template for more rigorous parametric and multi-scale studies.

Redox injectable gel protects osteoblastic function against oxidative stress and suppresses alveolar bone loss in a rat peri-implantitis model. Acta Biomater 2020; 110:82-94.

Abstract
Dental implant surgery is a routine treatment in clinical dentistry. However, implant surgery is associated with an increased risk of bacterially induced peri-implantitis and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), with no established treatment. We recently designed a new redox injectable gel (RIG) containing nitroxide radicals for the treatment of peri-implantitis. Here, we investigated the antioxidative effect of RIG as a preventive therapy for ROS-associated peri-implantitis in a rat model of alveolar bone resorption and in vitro. In each rat, the maxillary first molar tooth was replaced with a screw-type implant, and rats were assigned to one of four groups: an implant alone, an implant with infection, implant with infection and treatment with nRIG (a non-nitroxide radical-containing injectable hydrogel) or RIG. We confirmed the long-term retention of RIG in the peri-implant region and found that RIG significantly protected the alveolar bone volume and decreased lipid peroxidation. In culture, we found that RIG restored osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, using a malondialdehyde assay of lipid peroxidation, we found that RIG suppressed oxidative stress in H2O2-treated rat osteoblasts. Overall, RIG is anticipated as a prophylactic treatment for peri-implantitis and may help preserve oral function. Statement of Significance 1. Implant surgery is associated with an increased risk of bacterially induced peri-implantitis and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We designed a novel redox injectable gel (RIG) containing nitroxide radicals for the treatment of peri-implantitis. In this study, we investigated the antioxidative effect of RIG as a preventive therapy for ROS-associated peri-implantitis in a rat model and in vitro. 2. We showed that treatment with RIG reduces oxidative damage in a rat peri-implantitis model, protecting against bone resorption and a loss of bone density. We showed that RIG inhibits H2O2-mediated decreases in proliferation, osteoblast differentiation, and mineralization, and also against lipid peroxidation in vitro. Our results indicate that RIG has an antioxidative effect of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
This study is a contribution to our understanding of the mechanical behaviour of dental implants through the use of the finite element and the photoelastic methods. Two internal connection and bone level dental implants with different design have been analysed (M-12 by Oxtein S.L., Zaragoza, Spain, and ASTRA, from Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA), evaluating the stress distribution produced by axial stresses and a comparison has been established between them, as well as between the two methods used, in order to validate the adopted hypotheses and correlate the numerical modelling performed with experimental tests. To load the implant in laboratory testing, a column was placed, such that the loading point was about 9.3 mm from the upper free surface of the resin plate. This column connects the implant with the weights used to define the test load. In turn, support for both plates was achieved by two 6 mm bolts 130 mm apart and located on a parallel line with the resin (flush with the maximum level of the implant), at a depth of 90 mm. The results obtained with both methods used were similar enough. The comparison of results is fundamentally visual, but ensures that, at least in the range of forces used, both methods are similar. Therefore, the photoelastic method can be used to confirm in a real way the virtual conditions of the finite element models, with the implications in the investigation of dental implants that this entails.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intermittent injection of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is used to treat osteoporosis. The concept of bone quality was updated 20 years ago; however, these updates have not been adopted in implant dentistry. This study aimed to investigate the effects of intermittent administration of PTH on bone quality around implants in rat tibiae. METHODS Grade IV-titanium-threaded implants that were 3.5 mm long and 2.0 mm wide were placed in a randomly selected side of the proximal tibiae of 12-week-old female Wistar rats. Three weeks after implant placement, the rats were randomly divided into PTH-administration and saline-injection groups (PTH and VC, respectively; n = 7 per group). Micro-computed tomographical, histomorphometric, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to evaluate bone quality and quantity surrounding the implants. RESULTS PTH significantly increased bone volume and bone mineral density in bones not associated with the implants as compared to these values in the VC group. PTH significantly increased bone area and the amount of collagen within the total inside areas of all implant threads compared to that observed in VC. Moreover, PTH significantly increased the number of osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts in the total inside and/or outside areas of all implant threads and altered the ratio of type I and III collagen to total collagen fibers. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, intermittent administration of PTH improved both bone quantity and bone quality based on the types and numbers of bone cells and the types of collagen fibers surrounding implants placed into rat tibiae.

Abstract
The aim of this study was determinate the best sonochemical time in order to obtain better bone characteristics when a bioactive material (Biogran) is used in the filling periimplantar defects. In this study, 32 rats were submitted to surgical proceedings to create a periimplantar defect that was filled with Biogran receiving different sonochemical times: 15 (G1), 30 (G2), 45 (G3) or 90 min (G4). The biomaterial was characterized through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In vivo analysis was performed through micro CT, laser confocal microscopy, immunohistochemistry and evaluation of bone cytoarchitecture through hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The data were submitted to statistical testing, considering a significance level of p < 0.05. Rx diffraction of pure bioglass showed that it is predominantly amorphous; otherwise, there are small peaks at 23° and 31°. SEM shows that the longer the sonochemical time, the less edges the biomaterial will present. Within the groups, G1 and G2 showed the best quantity and quality by micro CT (p > 0.05). The best bone turnover result was found in G1 and G2, otherwise the better results were related to neoformed bone area, bone mineral apposition rate and bone implant contact to G1 (p < 0.05). G1 had the best results in terms of bone cytoarchitectural evaluation and immunohistochemistry. It is possible to conclude that Biogran that received 15 min of sonochemical treatment (G1) presented periimplantar bone repair with the best extracellular matrix properties, including the best quality and quantity of vital bone.

Abstract
In recent decades, cementless implants have been widely used in clinical practice to replace missing organs, to replace damaged or missing bone tissue or to restore joint functionality. However, there remain risks of failure which may have dramatic consequences. The success of an implant depends on its stability, which is determined by the biomechanical properties of the bone-implant interface (BII). The aim of this review article is to provide more insight on the current state of the art concerning the evolution of the biomechanical properties of the BII as a function of the implant's environment. The main characteristics of the BII and the determinants of implant stability are first introduced. Then, the different mechanical methods that have been employed to derive the macroscopic properties of the BII will be described. The experimental multi-modality approaches used to determine the microscopic biomechanical properties of periprosthetic newly formed bone tissue are also reviewed. Eventually, the influence of the implant's properties, in terms of both surface properties and biomaterials, is investigated. A better understanding of the phenomena occurring at the BII will lead to (i) medical devices that help surgeons to determine an implant's stability and (ii) an improvement in the quality of implants.

Abstract
In this study, using electrolytic reducing ionic water (S-100®), a novel surface treatment method safely and easily modifying the surface properties was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Ti-6Al-4V disks were washed and the disks were kept standing on a clean bench for one and four weeks for aging. These disks were immersed in S-100® (S-100 group), immersed in ultra-pure water (Control group), or irradiated with ultraviolet light (UV group), and surface analysis, cell experiment, and animal experiment were performed using these disks. The titanium surface became hydrophilic in the S-100 group and the amount of protein adsorption and cell adhesion rate were improved in vitro. In vivo, new bone formation was noted around the disk. These findings suggested that surface treatment with S-100® adds bioactivity to the biologically aged titanium surface. We are planning to further investigate it and accumulate evidence for clinical application.

Shah FA, Thomsen P, Palmquist A. Osseointegration and current interpretations of the bone-implant interface. Acta Biomater 2019; 84:1-15. [PMID: 30445157 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.11.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 156] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2018] [Revised: 10/28/2018] [Accepted: 11/12/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Complex physical and chemical interactions take place in the interface between the implant surface and bone. Various descriptions of the ultrastructural arrangement to various implant design features, ranging from solid and macroporous geometries to surface modifications on the micron-, submicron-, and nano- levels, have been put forward. Here, the current knowledge regarding structural organisation of the bone-implant interface is reviewed with a focus on solid devices, mainly metal (or alloy) intended for permanent anchorage in bone. Certain biomaterials that undergo surface and bulk degradation are also considered. The bone-implant interface is a heterogeneous zone consisting of mineralised, partially mineralised, and unmineralised areas. Within the meso-micro-nano-continuum, mineralised collagen fibrils form the structural basis of the bone-implant interface, in addition to accumulation of non-collagenous macromolecules such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin. In the published literature, as many as eight distinct arrangements of the bone-implant interface ultrastructure have been described. The interpretation is influenced by the in vivo model and species-specific characteristics, healing time point(s), physico-chemical properties of the implant surface, implant geometry, sample preparation route(s) and associated artefacts, analytical technique(s) and their limitations, and non-compromised vs compromised local tissue conditions. The understanding of the ultrastructure of the interface under experimental conditions is rapidly evolving due to the introduction of novel techniques for sample preparation and analysis. Nevertheless, the current understanding of the interface zone in humans in relation to clinical implant performance is still hampered by the shortcomings of clinical methods for resolving the finer details of the bone-implant interface. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Being a hierarchical material by design, the overall strength of bone is governed by composition and structure. Understanding the structure of the bone-implant interface is essential in the development of novel bone repair materials and strategies, and their long-term success. Here, the current knowledge regarding the eventual structural organisation of the bone-implant interface is reviewed, with a focus on solid devices intended for permanent anchorage in bone, and certain biomaterials that undergo surface and bulk degradation. The bone-implant interface is a heterogeneous zone consisting of mineralised, partially mineralised, and unmineralised areas. Within the meso-micro-nano-continuum, mineralised collagen fibrils form the structural basis of the bone-implant interface, in addition to accumulation of non-collagenous macromolecules such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin.

Abstract
Bone quality is a significant indicator of the result of bone treatments. However, information regarding the quality of regenerated bones is limited. The study investigates the effect of different compositions of vacuum heated epigallocatechin gallate-modified gelatins sponge (vhEGCG-GS) on the quality of regenerated bones in critical size defects (9 mm) of rat calvariae. Five different compositions of vhEGCG-GSs containing the same amount of EGCG and different amounts of gelatin were tested. Following four weeks after implantation, the harvested regenerated bones were evaluated by using micro-computed tomography analysis, histological evaluation (hematoxylin-eosin and Villaneueva Goldner staining), picrosirius red-staining with polarized microscopic observation for collagen maturation, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy microscopy and imaging analysis for mineral-matrix ratio. The results indicated that increasing content of gelatin in the vhEGCG-GSs promoted bone and osteoid formation but yielded porous bones. Furthermore, tissue mineral density decreased and the maximum mineral-matrix ratio increased. In contrast, vhEGCG-GSs containing smaller amount of gelatin formed mature collagen matrix in the regenerated bones. These results suggest that the alteration of composition of vhEGCG-GSs affected the bone forming capability and quality of regenerated bone and provides valuable insight for the fabrication of new bone substitute materials.

Abstract
In lamellar bone, a network of highly oriented interconnected osteocytes is organized in concentric layers. Through their cellular processes contained within canaliculi, osteocytes are highly mechanosensitive and locally modulate bone remodeling. We review the recent developments demonstrating the significance of the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network in bone maintenance around implant biomaterials. Drilling during implant site preparation triggers osteocyte apoptosis, the magnitude of which correlates with drilling speed and heat generation, resulting in extensive remodeling and delayed healing. In peri-implant bone, osteocytes physically communicate with implant surfaces via canaliculi and are responsive to mechanical loading, leading to changes in osteocyte numbers and morphology. Certain implant design features allow peri-implant osteocytes to retain a less aged phenotype, despite highly advanced extracellular matrix maturation. Physicochemical properties of anodically oxidized surfaces stimulate bone formation and remodeling by regulating the expression of RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand), RANK, and OPG (osteoprotegerin) from implant-adherent cells. Modulation of certain osteocyte-related molecular signaling mechanisms (e.g., sclerostin blockade) may enhance the biomechanical anchorage of implants. Evaluation of the peri-implant osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network should therefore be a necessary component in future investigations of osseointegration to more completely characterize the biological response to materials for load-bearing applications in dentistry and orthopedics.

Abstract
Background Although many studies have evaluated the success of porous tantalum component in primary and revision cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases, few studies have reported the breakage of porous tantalum monoblock patella component (PTMP). The purpose of this study was to investigate the radiographic outcomes of breakage of PTMP at short-term follow up. Methods This was a retrospective study of 49 consecutive knees in 43 patients who underwent TKA surgery between September 2012 and March 2014. Bone marrow contents/tissue volumes (BMC/TV. mg/cm3) were evaluated using 2-dimensional osteomorphometry software with 2D- multi-detector-row computed tomography (2D-MDCT) to measure fixation of the bone-prosthesis interface with patella at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Clinical follow up was obtained by reviewing each patient at orthopedic record. Results We experienced a case that resulted in breakage of PTMP without traumatic episode at 26 months after surgery. Relative changes of Bone Mineral Contents per Tissue Volume. (BMC/TV mg/cm3) at ROI. 1 (superior border of the patella) and ROI. 2 (peg of patella) were significantly higher than ROI.3 (inferior border of patella) at 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery (p < 0.001. p < 0.01). Patient with breakage of PTMP has patella baja (Insall- Salvati ratio: 0.72), and the relative change of BMC/TV at ROI.1 and 2 for patients who experienced a breakage of PTMP was higher than any other patients. Conclusion The present study revealed that the use of PTMP should be avoided for patients with patella baja.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study asked whether differences in coronal alignment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) affect the load distribution on the tibial plateau. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between coronal alignment and the load distribution on the tibial plateau after TKA, using three-dimensional multi-detector-row-computed tomography (3D-MDCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we performed 84 cementless TKA with porous tantalum modular tibial component (PTMT) and divided into three groups based on post-operative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle: varus alignment group (n = 22), (176° ≧) neutral alignment group (n = 45), (180° ± 3°), and valgus alignment group (n = 17) (184° ≦).The changes in bone quality parameters of trabecular patterns under peg of PTMT were interpreted as load distribution due to changes in alignment. The relationship between HKA angle and load distribution on the tibial plateau was analyzed every 6 months for 4.5 years by measuring Bone marrow contents/tissue volumes (mg/cm3) and bone volumes/tissue volumes (%) under peg of porous tantalum modular tibial component by visualizing three dimensionally with 3D-osteo-morphometry software. RESULTS There were no correlations between HKA angle and the load distribution on the tibial plateau after TKA at all periods. There was a significantly higher increase in the medial region than the lateral about the BMC/TV and BV/TV values, regardless of the post-operative alignment after TKA for all periods. The relative BMC/TV and BV/TV changes at medial region in varus alignment group were significantly lower than the neutral and the valgus alignment groups of pre-operative medial osteoarthritis of the knee. CONCLUSIONS As far, it can be concluded by the study and the methods used therein that there were no relationships between the load distribution on the tibial plateau and HKA angle after TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study, Level III.

Trabecular health of vertebrae based on anisotropy in trabecular architecture and collagen/apatite micro-arrangement after implantation of intervertebral fusion cages in the sheep spine.

Abstract
Healthy trabecular bone shows highly anisotropic trabecular architecture and the preferential orientation of collagen and apatite inside a trabecula, both of which are predominantly directed along the cephalocaudal axis. This makes trabecular bone stiff in the principally loaded direction (cephalocaudal axis). However, changes in these anisotropic trabecular characteristics after the insertion of implant devices remain unclear. We defined the trabecular architectural anisotropy and the preferential orientation of collagen and apatite as parameters of trabecular bone health. In the present study, we analyzed these parameters after the implantation of two types of intervertebral fusion cages, open and closed box-type cages, into sheep spines for 2 and 4months. Alteration and evolution of trabecular health around and inside the cages depended on the cage type and implantation duration. At the boundary region, the values of trabecular architectural anisotropy and apatite orientation for the closed-type cages were similar to those for isotropic conditions. In contrast, significantly larger anisotropy was found for open-type cages, indicating that the open-type cage tended to maintain trabecular anisotropy. Inside the open-type cage, trabecular architectural anisotropy and apatite orientation significantly increased with time after implantation. Assessing trabecular anisotropy might be useful for the evaluation of trabecular health and the validation and refinement of implant designs.

Abstract
Greater understanding and acceptance of the new concept "bone quality", which was proposed by the National Institutes of Health and is based on bone cells and collagen fibers, are required. The novel protein Semaphorin3A (Sema3A) is associated with osteoprotection by regulating bone cells. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of mechanical loads on Sema3A production and bone quality based on bone cells and collagen fibers around implants in rat maxillae. Grade IV-titanium threaded implants were placed at 4 weeks post-extraction in maxillary first molars. Implants received mechanical loads (10 N, 3 Hz for 1800 cycles, 2 days/week) for 5 weeks from 3 weeks post-implant placement to minimize the effects of wound healing processes by implant placement. Bone structures, bone mineral density (BMD), Sema3A production and bone quality based on bone cells and collagen fibers were analyzed using microcomputed tomography, histomorphometry, immunohistomorphometry, polarized light microscopy and birefringence measurement system inside of the first and second thread (designated as thread A and B, respectively), as mechanical stresses are concentrated and differently distributed on the first two threads from the implant neck. Mechanical load significantly increased BMD, but not bone volume around implants. Inside thread B, but not thread A, mechanical load significantly accelerated Sema3A production with increased number of osteoblasts and osteocytes, and enhanced production of both type I and III collagen. Moreover, mechanical load also significantly induced preferential alignment of collagen fibers in the lower flank of thread B. These data demonstrate that mechanical load has different effects on Sema3A production and bone quality based on bone cells and collagen fibers between the inside threads of A and B. Mechanical load-induced Sema3A production may be differentially regulated by the type of bone structure or distinct stress distribution, resulting in control of bone quality around implants in jaw bones.

Abstract
Osteocytes play important roles in controlling bone quality as well as preferential alignment of biological apatite c-axis/collagen fibers. However, the relationship between osteocytes and mechanical stress remains unclear due to the difficulty of three-dimensional (3D) culture of osteocytes in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cyclic mechanical stretch on 3D-cultured osteocyte-like cells. Osteocyte-like cells were established using rat calvarial osteoblasts cultured in a 3D culture system. Cyclic mechanical stretch (8% amplitude at a rate of 2 cycles min-1) was applied for 24, 48 and 96 consecutive hours. Morphology, cell number and preferential cell alignment were evaluated. Apoptosis- and autophagy-related gene expression levels were measured using quantitative PCR. 3D-cultured osteoblasts became osteocyte-like cells that expressed osteocyte-specific genes such as Dmp1, Cx43, Sost, Fgf23 and RANKL, with morphological changes similar to osteocytes. Cell number was significantly decreased in a time-dependent manner under non-loaded conditions, whereas cyclic mechanical stretch significantly prevented decreased cell numbers with increased expression of anti-apoptosis-related genes. Moreover, cyclic mechanical stretch significantly decreased cell size and ellipticity with increased expression of autophagy-related genes, LC3b and atg7. Interestingly, preferential cell alignment did not occur, irrespective of mechanical stretch. These findings suggest that an anti-apoptotic effect contributes to network development of osteocyte-like cells under loaded condition. Spherical change of osteocyte-like cells induced by mechanical stretch may be associated with autophagy upregulation. Preferential alignment of osteocytes induced by mechanical load in vivo may be partially predetermined before osteoblasts differentiate into osteocytes and embed into bone matrix.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to present the current concept of bone quality based on the proposal by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and some of the cellular and molecular factors that affect bone quality. STUDY SELECTION This is a literature review which focuses on collagen, biological apatite (BAp), and bone cells such as osteoblasts and osteocytes. RESULTS In dentistry, the term "bone quality" has long been considered to be synonymous with bone mineral density (BMD) based on radiographic and sensible evaluations. In 2000, the NIH proposed the concept of bone quality as "the sum of all characteristics of bone that influence the bone's resistance to fracture," which is completely independent of BMD. The NIH defines bone quality as comprising bone architecture, bone turnover, bone mineralization, and micro-damage accumulation. Moreover, our investigations have demonstrated that BAp, collagen, and bone cells such as osteoblasts and osteocytes play essential roles in controlling the current concept of bone quality in bone around hip and dental implants. CONCLUSION The current concept of bone quality is crucial for understanding bone mechanical functions. BAp, collagen and osteocytes are the main factors affecting bone quality. Moreover, mechanical loading dynamically adapts bone quality. Understanding the current concept of bone quality is required in dentistry.
