Abstract
The successful use of surgical and medical methods of jaw bone tissue restoration has been convincingly confirmed in clinical practice. At the same time, technologies are being developed to improve the osseointegration of dental implants in patients with osteoporosis. The use of various implant coatings, as well as systemic therapy, demonstrate the emergence of new directions in the treatment of patients with partial or complete secondary edentulism with concomitant osteoporosis. This trend is relevant in modern medicine . Information was obtained from the PubMed database, using the keywords «osteoporosis» and «osseointegration» and «dental implantation» and «zoledronic acid» from 2016 to 2022. Articles were selected based on experimental work. Numerous studies have shown that bone tissue is an effective indicator of osteoporotic changes. The main changes in bone tissue in osteoporosis are emphasized - a decrease in bone volume, deterioration of the microarchitecture of the trabecular bone and processes that prevent osseointegration - loss of bone mass, a significant decrease in the percentage of contact in the implant-bone complex. Methods of dealing with the negative impact on the operation of dental implantation have been identified. In a review of studies on the systemic administration of drugs based on bisphosphonates, an increase in the osseointegration of dental implants was revealed, the systemic administration of zoledronic acid preparations significantly increased the formation of new bone, which in turn contributed to the elimination of such a negative effect of osteoporosis as bone resorption. In addition to the systemic administration of bisphosphonates, experimental studies describe the topical application of bisphosphonates in the form of various implant coatings. Topical application of bisphosphonates also contributed to increased osseointegration. Microstructured coated implants showed less marginal bone loss compared to uncoated implants. Conclusion. The use of dental implants with modified macro- and microrelief, as well as systemic drug therapy, remains the main direction of scientific research that contributes to the optimization of osseointegration of dental implants.

Huang XL, Liu C, Shi XM, Cheng YT, Zhou Q, Li JP, Liao J. Zoledronic acid inhibits osteoclastogenesis and bone resorptive function by suppressing RANKL‑mediated NF‑κB and JNK and their downstream signalling pathways. Mol Med Rep 2021; 25:59. [PMID: 34935053 PMCID: PMC8711024 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2021.12575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Targeting excessive osteoclast differentiation and activity is considered a valid therapeutic approach for osteoporosis. Zoledronic acid (ZOL) plays a pivotal role in regulating bone mineral density. However, the exact molecular mechanisms responsible for the inhibitory effects of ZOL on receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation are not entirely clear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of ZOL in osteoclast differentiation and function, and to determine whether NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase, and their downstream signalling pathways, are involved in this process. RAW264.7 cells were cultured with RANKL for differentiation into osteoclasts, in either the presence or absence of ZOL. Osteoclast formation was observed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and bone resorption pit assays using dentine slices. The expression of osteoclast-specific molecules was analysed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting assays to deduce the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of ZOL in osteoclastogenesis. The results showed that ZOL significantly attenuated osteoclastogenesis and bone resorptive capacity in vitro. ZOL also suppressed the activation of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Furthermore, it inhibited the expression of the downstream factors c-Jun, c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1, thereby decreasing the expression of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein and other osteoclast-specific markers. In conclusion, ZOL may have therapeutic potential for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Biomedical research seeks to generate experimental results for translation to clinical settings. In order to improve the transition from bench to bedside, researchers must draw justifiable conclusions based on data from an appropriate model. Animal testing, as a prerequisite to human clinical exposure, is performed in a range of species, from laboratory mice to larger animals (such as dogs or non-human primates). Minipigs appear to be the animal of choice for studying bone surgery around intraoral dental implants. Dog models, well-known in the field of dental implant research, tend now to be used for studies conducted under compromised oral conditions (biofilm). Regarding small animal models, research studies mostly use rodents, with interest in rabbit models declining. Mouse models remain a reference for genetic studies. On the other hand, over the last decade, scientific advances and government guidelines have led to the replacement, reduction, and refinement of the use of all animal models in dental implant research. In new development strategies, some in vivo experiments are being progressively replaced by in vitro or biomaterial approaches. In this review, we summarize the key information on the animal models currently available for dental implant research and highlight (i) the pros and cons of each type, (ii) new levels of decisional procedures regarding study objectives, and (iii) the outlook for animal research, discussing possible non-animal options.

Prednisolone induces osteocytes apoptosis by promoting Notum expression and inhibiting PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. J Mol Histol 2021; 52:1081-1095.

Abstract
The apoptosis of mature osteocytes is the main factor causing damage to the microstructure of cortical bone in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). Our previous research found damaged areas and empty osteocytes lacunae in the tibial cortical bone of GIOP mice. However, the specific mechanism has not been clarified. Recently, a study showed that the quality of the cortical bone significantly increased by knocking out Notum, a gene encoding α/β hydrolase. However, it is not clear whether Notum affects cortical bone remodeling by participating in glucocorticoids (GCs)-induced apoptosis of osteocytes. The present study aimed to explore the correlation between Notum, osteocytes apoptosis, and cortical bone quality in GIOP. Prednisolone acetate was intragastrically administered to mice for two weeks. Histochemical staining was applied to evaluate changes in GIOP and Notum expression. Osteocytes were stimulated with prednisolone, and cell viability was assessed via CCK8. Hoechst 33342/PI staining, flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and western blot were used to detect osteocytes apoptosis, siRNA transfection efficiency, and expressions of pathway related factors. The results showed that the number of empty osteocytes lacunae increased in GIOP mice. TUNEL-stained apoptotic osteocytes and Notum immuno-positive osteocytes were also observed. Furthermore, prednisolone was found to promote Notum expression and osteocytes apoptosis in vitro. Knocking down Notum via siRNA partially restored osteocytes apoptosis and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β)/β-catenin pathway. These findings showed GCs-induced osteocytes apoptosis by promoting Notum expression and inhibiting PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. Thus, Notum might be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of GIOP.

Abstract
Clinical performance of osseointegrated implants could be compromised by the medications taken by patients. The effect of a specific medication on osseointegration can be easily investigated using traditional systematic reviews. However, assessment of all known medications requires the use of evidence mapping methods. These methods allow assessment of complex questions, but they are very resource intensive when done manually. The objective of this study was to develop a machine learning algorithm to automatically map the literature assessing the effect of medications on osseointegration. Datasets of articles classified manually were used to train a machine-learning algorithm based on Support Vector Machines. The algorithm was then validated and used to screen 599,604 articles identified with an extremely sensitive search strategy. The algorithm included 281 relevant articles that described the effect of 31 different drugs on osseointegration. This approach achieved an accuracy of 95%, and compared to manual screening, it reduced the workload by 93%. The systematic mapping revealed that the treatment outcomes of osseointegrated medical devices could be influenced by drugs affecting homeostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation and bone remodeling. The effect of all known medications on the performance of osseointegrated medical devices can be assessed using evidence mappings executed with highly accurate machine learning algorithms.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields modify the adverse effects of glucocorticoids on bone architecture, bone strength and porous implant osseointegration by rescuing bone-anabolic actions. Bone 2020; 133:115266. [PMID: 32044333 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Long-term glucocorticoid therapy is known to induce increased bone fragility and impaired skeletal regeneration potential. Growing evidence suggests that pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can accelerate fracture healing and increase bone mass both experimentally and clinically. However, how glucocorticoid-treated bone and bone cells respond to PEMF stimulation remains poorly understood. Here we tested the effects of PEMF on bone quantity/quality, bone metabolism, and porous implant osseointegration in rabbits treated with dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg/day, 6 weeks). The micro-CT, histologic and nanoindentation results showed that PEMF ameliorated the glucocorticoid-mediated deterioration of cancellous and cortical bone architecture and intrinsic material properties. Utilizing the new porous titanium implant (Ti2448) with low toxicity and low elastic modulus, we found that PEMF stimulated bone ingrowth into the pores of implants and enhanced peri-implant bone material quality during osseous defect repair in glucocorticoid-treated rabbits. Dynamic histomorphometric results revealed that PEMF reversed the adverse effects of glucocorticoids on bone formation, which was confirmed by increased circulating osteocalcin and P1NP. PEMF also significantly attenuated osteocyte apoptosis, promoted osteoblast-related osteocalcin, Runx2 and Osx expression, and inhibited osteocyte-specific DKK1 and Sost expression (negative regulators of osteoblasts) in glucocorticoid-treated skeletons, revealing improved functional activities of osteoblasts and osteocytes. Nevertheless, PEMF exerted no effect on circulating bone-resorbing cytokines (serum TRAcP5b and CTX-1) or skeletal gene expression of osteoclast-specific markers (TRAP and cathepsin K). PEMF also significantly upregulated skeletal gene expression of canonical Wnt ligands (Wnt1, Wnt3a and Wnt10b), whereas PEMF did not alter non-canonical Wnt5a expression. This study demonstrates that PEMF treatment improves bone mass, strength and porous implant osseointegration in glucocorticoid-treated rabbits by promoting potent bone-anabolic action, which is associated with canonical Wnt-mediated improvement in osteoblast and osteocyte functions. This study provides a new treatment alternative for glucocorticoid-related bone disorders in a convenient and non-invasive manner.

Effects of Systemic or Local Administration of Zoledronate on Implant Osseointegration: A Preclinical Meta-Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:9541485.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the effect of systemically administrated zoledronate on bone-implant fixation in animal models. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and EBSCO for studies that explore the role of systemic or local zoledronate delivery in implant osseointegration in animal models. The Review Manager software was used to analyze selected studies by using the weighted mean difference random-effects model. Analytical data are mainly about bone ingrowth, such as bone-to-implant contact (BIC), bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), and bone area. Results Twenty studies were selected from 182 publications. The mean quality score was 18/20 for all of the 20 studies (κ = 0.9). Despite differences in protocols, these studies showed consistent improvement of implant osseointegration with zoledronate administration. In addition, the osteoporotic animal model, systemic or local administration, sufficient drug dosage, and sample follow-up time were correlated with improved outcomes. Conclusion Systematic administration of zoledronate could improve the osseointegration of orthopedic implant in animal models. Results of this meta-analysis should be interpreted cautiously because of the inherent differences between preclinical and clinical subjects. For the local administration, there is a similar trend as well, but the results need to be confirmed and complemented with further analyses.

Abstract
Hearing function in older patients may be related to bone structure. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the effect of zoledronic acid on osteoporotic middle ear ossicles in an animal model. Our subjects were 19 female New Zealand white rabbits (38 ears) weighing 2 to 4 kg. We divided the rabbits into three groups: one group consisted of 6 rabbits with osteoporotic ears that were treated with zoledronic acid; the second group was made up of 8 rabbits with osteoporotic ears that were not treated; a control group included 5 rabbits with normal ears that were untreated. After an oophorectomy, the 6 study rabbits were administered 0.1 ml/kg of zoledronic acid intravenously. All rabbits were sacrificed 16 weeks later, and the middle ear ossicles were removed for investigation under light microscopy. Although osteoporosis enhanced the osteoclastic bone resorption of the ossicles, zoledronic acid enhanced osteoblastic activity on osteoporotic middle ear ossicles. The incidence of osteoporosis was 93.8% in the untreated osteoporosis group and 33.3% in zoledronic acid group-a statistically significant difference (OR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.58; p < 0.001). Osteoporosis appears to increase the resorption of the middle ear ossicles, a process that can be avoided with zoledronic acid administration. Prevention of the effects of osteoporosis in humans may help decrease the irreversible changes in the middle ear ossicles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of radiotherapy on the osseointegration of dental implants in the tibia and the action of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an adjuvant therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 18 rabbits received two implants in each tibial epiphysis, totalizing 72 implants. The control group (group I) was composed by six rabbits and did not receive radiotherapy. The test groups (II and III) received a single dose of 1727 cGy. Group II was composed by six irradiated animals and group III by six animals that received irradiation and PRP during implant placement. The implant success rate, the bone-implant contact (BIC), and the bone volume were analyzed. RESULTS There was no osseointegration in four of the implants, three in group II and one in group III. Total BIC was significantly higher in group I, when compared to the other groups. There was a significant difference of osteoid BIC only between irradiated animals (group II, 8.5%; group III, 4.7%; p = 0.001). On the other hand, the mineralized BIC was significantly higher in group I. Furthermore, group II had a lower mineralized BIC than group III (p = 0.002). Bone volume was higher in the control group (41.3%), followed by group III (33.4%) and II (25.1%), with differences between groups I and II (p = 0.001) and groups II and III (p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that both the bone volume and BIC were higher in the control group. However, the failure rates of the implants were low in both irradiated groups. The PRP was a positive adjuvant in the osseointegration process.

Abstract
CBCT is a widely applied imaging modality in dentistry. It enables the visualization of high-contrast structures of the oral region (bone, teeth, air cavities) at a high resolution. CBCT is now commonly used for the assessment of bone quality, primarily for pre-operative implant planning. Traditionally, bone quality parameters and classifications were primarily based on bone density, which could be estimated through the use of Hounsfield units derived from multidetector CT (MDCT) data sets. However, there are crucial differences between MDCT and CBCT, which complicates the use of quantitative gray values (GVs) for the latter. From experimental as well as clinical research, it can be seen that great variability of GVs can exist on CBCT images owing to various reasons that are inherently associated with this technique (i.e. the limited field size, relatively high amount of scattered radiation and limitations of currently applied reconstruction algorithms). Although attempts have been made to correct for GV variability, it can be postulated that the quantitative use of GVs in CBCT should be generally avoided at this time. In addition, recent research and clinical findings have shifted the paradigm of bone quality from a density-based analysis to a structural evaluation of the bone. The ever-improving image quality of CBCT allows it to display trabecular bone patterns, indicating that it may be possible to apply structural analysis methods that are commonly used in micro-CT and histology.
