JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024; 125:101825. [PMID: 38499148 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2024.101825] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In edentulous maxillae, the anterior maxilla is the region of interest for implant placement due to posterior bone resorption and sinus pneumatization. This study aimed to assess variations in bone density in different regions of the edentulous maxilla according to sex and age, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 69 CBCT from edentulous maxilla were analyzed. Six virtual implants were planned between the maxillary sinuses at incisor, canine, and premolar sites. Bone densities (in Hounsfield units HU) were recorded at six points on the neck, body, and apex of the buccal and lingual areas of each virtual implant. We used the two-sample t-test to compare male and female bone densities, and the Spearman correlation coefficient to analyze the correlation between mean bone density and age. One-way analysis of variance with post hoc pairwise t-tests was used to analyze the differences in density between three sites of the edentulous maxilla and the differences in density between three parts of the implant. The significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS Mean bone density in males was significantly higher than in females. There was a significant correlation between mean bone density and age in females. Incisor sites showed the highest mean bone density, followed by canine and premolar sites. There was a significant decline in bone density from the neck to the apex. CONCLUSIONS Bone density varied within and among edentulous maxillae. Bone density of the edentulous maxilla seemed to be influenced by age in women and by sex.

The relationship between radiographic measurements of alveolar bone in posterior single-tooth edentulous regions and non-alveolar jawbones using multidetector computed tomography. Oral Radiol 2024:10.1007/s11282-024-00771-5.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between radiographic measurements of the alveolar bone in posterior single-tooth edentulous regions and radiographic measurements of non-alveolar jawbones using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS The sample consisted of 47 patients aged between 20 and 42 years who underwent MDCT. All patients had a posterior single-tooth edentulous region. Extraction was performed 1-8 years ago at the time of inclusion (mean = 3.2). The alveolar bone in the edentulous region and non-alveolar bone regions (maxillary tuberosity, condyles, inferior to the mandibular foramen, and mandibular angle) were studied radiographically (radiographic density, dimensions, and cortical bone ratio). Pearson correlation, independent sample t test, and linear regression analysis were used for the statistical analysis. RESULTS Radiographic density of the alveolar bone (measured in the axial or buccolingual directions) correlated significantly with that of the maxillary tuberosity (0.3 < r < 0.4; P value ≥ 0.001) and, to a lesser extent, with the radiographic density of the region inferior to the mental foramen (r ≈ 0.3). Based on these correlation coefficients, non-alveolar bone density could explain 10-16% of the alveolar bone density after extraction according to linear regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that alveolar bone radiographic density was correlated with that of the maxillary tuberosity and inferior to the mental foramen region. Accordingly, linear regression models were suggested to aid in predicting future alveolar bone density in areas where extraction is to be performed.

Abstract
This study aimed to subjectively evaluate bone quality in the particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) graft area and to assess the survival rates of implants. A retrospective review was conducted based on patient age, sex, diagnosis, reconstructed site, number of implants, prosthetic type, and duration of follow-up. Images from computed tomography (CT) before implant insertion were obtained and used in this study. We selected a 4.0-mm diameter × 8.0-mm length region of interest in the implant placement area, and measured the CT attenuation value. No significant correlations were seen between CT attenuation values and implant survival rates in the maxilla and mandible. On the other hand, CT attenuation values and implant survival rates were significantly lower in patients with malignancy than in non-malignant cases. Placing implants in PCBM grafted bone requires a full understanding of bone quality before surgery and drilling to ensure primary stability, along with consideration of soft tissue management and maintenance programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is commonly used to evaluate cancellous bone density before dental implant surgery. However, to our knowledge, no measurement approach has been standardized yet. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between three different regions of interest (ROI) methods on cancellous bone density at the dental implant site using dental CBCT images. METHODS Patients' dental CBCT images (n = 300) obtained before dental implant surgery were processed using Mimics (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). At the potential implant sites, the rectangle, cylinder, and surrounding cylinder ROI methods were used to measure bone density. Repeated measures one-way analysis of variance was performed to compare the three ROI methods in terms of measurement results. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to identify the likely pair-wise correlations between the three ROI methods. RESULTS The density value obtained using the surrounding cylinder approach (grayscale value [GV],523.56 ± 228.03) was significantly higher than the values obtained using the rectangle (GV, 497.04 ± 236.69) and cylinder (GV,493 ± 231.19) ROI methods in terms of results. Furthermore, significant correlations were noted between the ROI methods (r > 0.965; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The density measured using the surrounding cylinder method was the highest. The choice of method may not influence the trends of measurement results. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of China Medical University Hospital, No. CMUH111-REC3-205. Informed consent was waived by the Institutional Review Board of China Medical University Hospital, CMUH111-REC3-205, owing to the retrospective nature of the study.

Abstract
The biomechanical response of mandibular bone determines primary stability and concomitant osseointegration of dental implants. This study explores the impact of nature of loading and bone conditions on biomechanical response of hybrid threaded single-piece zirconia dental implants. To develop such understanding, three implants (SQ_V, V_BUT, and V_V), with different combinations of threads, square (SQ), buttress (BUT), and triangular (V), have been investigated. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was carried out to simulate implantation at the molar position of mandible of varying densities under axial (≤500 N) and oblique (118.2 N) loadings. Patient-specific bone conditions (for a wider population) were considered by scaling the density and the elastic modulus of mandible to represent, 'weak', 'healthy', and 'strong' bone conditions. FEA results revealed that SQ_V and V_BUT implants exhibited a better biomechanical response without significant variation (<0.5%) in von Mises stress, regardless of bone density and axial loadings. These implants are predicted to perform with clinically acceptable factor of safety under investigated implantation scenarios, whereas V_BUT implant showed a larger variation (∼±12%). FEA simulation with oblique loading further validated such results. The 'weak' bone conditions resulted in maximum peri-implant microstrain, whereas 'strong and healthy' bone exhibited values close to the permissible range of physiological remodeling. The maximum micromotion (∼12.3 ± 6.2 μm for 'weak' bone) at bone-implant interface suggested that implant loosening and impaired osseointegration will not occur in any of selected virtual implantation cases. Both SQ_V and V_BUT implants will be considered further in implant development, involving manufacturing and product prototype validation. Taken together, the critical analysis of FEA results indicates a significant impact of bone density and distinct combinations of external threads on the biomechanical responses, in both the implant and the surrounding bone.

Abstract
Objectives The objectives of this retrospective study are to measure the amount of the alveolar crest cortication and cortication around the mandibular canal, and to evaluate bone density values of alveolar crest, cortication around mandibular canal, and possible implant placement area for edentulous sites. Material and Methods Six hundred forty-two cone-beam computed tomography scans from 642 subjects were evaluated in four centers. Cortical thicknesses of alveolar crest and mandibular canal cortical borders (buccal, lingual, apical, and coronal) in each mandibular posterior teeth region were measured. Bone density of alveolar crest and mandibular canal cortical borders (buccal, lingual, apical, and coronal) in each mandibular posterior teeth region were recorded. The correlations between numeric variables were investigated using Pearson's correlation test. Results The largest cortical border of the canal was measured 1.1 (SD 0.71) mm at the left second molar area and in coronal side of the mandibular canal (MC). Left and right first premolar regions showed higher bone density values compared to the other sites in all bone density values evaluations. The buccal side of the canal at the right first premolar region showed the highest bone density values (832.32 [SD 350.01]) while the coronal side of the canal at the left second molar region showed the lowest (508.75 [SD 225.47]). The bone density of possible implant placement area at the both left (692.25 [SD 238.25]) and right (604.43 [SD 240.92]) edentulous first premolar showed the highest values. Positive correlations between the bone density values of alveolar crest and the coronal side of MC were found in molar and left second premolar regions (P < 0.05). Conclusions Results may provide information about the amount of cortication and bone densities tooth by tooth for posterior mandible to surgeons for planning the treatment precisely.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study proposed a new classification method of bone quantity and quality at the dental implant site using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image analysis, classifying cortical and cancellous bones separately and using CBCT for quantitative analysis. METHODS Preoperative CBCT images were obtained from 128 implant patients (315 sites). First, measure the crestal cortical bone thickness (in mm) and the cancellous bone density [in grayscale values (GV) and bone mineral density (g/cm3)] at the implant sites. The new classification for bone quality at the implant site proposed in this study is a "nine-square division" bone classification system, where the cortical bone thickness is classified into A: > 1.1 mm, B:0.7-1.1 mm, and C: < 0.7 mm, and the cancellous bone density is classified into 1: > 600 GV (= 420 g/cm3), 2:300-600 GV (= 160 g/cm3-420 g/cm3), and 3: < 300 GV (= 160 g/cm3). RESULTS The results of the nine bone type proportions based on the new jawbone classification were as follows: A1 (8.57%,27/315), A2 (13.02%), A3 (4.13%), B1 (17.78%), B2 (20.63%), B3 (8.57%) C1 (4.44%), C2 (14.29%), and C3 (8.57%). CONCLUSIONS The proposed classification can complement the parts overlooked in previous bone classification methods (bone types A3 and C1).

Abstract
Objectives The aims of this retrospective study were to objectively assess bone density values obtained by cone-beam computed tomography and to map the periapical and inter-radicular regions of the mandibular bone. Material and Methods In total, periapical bone regions of 6898 roots scanned by cone-beam computed tomography were evaluated retrospectively, and the results were recorded using Hounsfield units (HU). Results The correlation between periapical HU values of adjacent mandibular teeth were strongly positive (P ˂ 0.01). The anterior region of the mandible yielded highest mean HU value (633.55). The mean periapical HU value of the premolar region (470.58) was higher than that was measured for molar region (374.58). The difference between furcation HU values of the first and second molars was unnoticeable. Conclusions The results of this study have tried to evaluate the periapical regions of all mandibular teeth, which could ease to predict the bone radiodensity before implant surgery. Even though the Hounsfield units provide the average radio-bone density, a site-specific bone tissue evaluation of each case is essential for appropriate cone-beam computed tomography preoperative planning.

Survival and stability of strategic mini-implants with immediate or delayed loading under removable partial dentures: a 3-year randomized controlled clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 27:1767-1779.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Stability values of mini-implants (MIs) are ambiguous. Survival data for MIs as supplementary abutments in reduced dentitions are not available. The aim of this explorative research was to estimate the 3-year stability and survival of strategic MIs after immediate and delayed loading by existing removable partial dentures (RPDs).
Material and methods
In a university and three dental practices, patients with unfavorable tooth distributions received supplementary MIs with diameters of 1.8, 2.1, and 2.4 mm. The participants were randomly allocated to group A (if the insertion torque ≥ 35 Ncm: immediate loading by housings; otherwise, immediate loading by RPD soft relining was performed) or delayed loading group B. Periotest values (PTVs) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) values were longitudinally compared using mixed models.
Results
A total of 112 maxillary and 120 mandibular MIs were placed under 79 RPDs (31 maxillae). The 1st and 3rd quartile of the PTVs ranged between 1.7 and 7.8, and the RFA values ranged between 30 and 46 with nonrelevant group differences. The 3-year survival rates were 92% in group A versus 95% in group B and 99% in the mandible (one failure) versus 87% in the maxilla (eleven failures among four participants).
Conclusions
Within the limitations of explorative analyses, there were no relevant differences between immediate and delayed loading regarding survival or stability of strategic MIs.
Clinical relevance
The stability values for MIs are lower than for conventional implants. The MI failure rate in the maxilla is higher than in the mandible with cluster failure participants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on the alveolar bone thickness and density in patients undergoing leveling and alignment of crowded lower anterior teeth. METHODS This controlled clinical trial involved 17 smokers and 17 nonsmokers with mild to moderate crowding of the anterior mandibular teeth. Two cone-beam computed tomography images of the mandible were taken before and after treatment. The length of each tooth root was calculated in each T0 image, and the root was divided into three equal regions. Three lines were drawn parallel to the line of the cementoenamel junction at these three regions of the root, and the previously drawn lines were used to measure bone thickness and bone density. RESULTS The mean changes in cortical bone thickness and bone density were significantly smaller in smokers than nonsmokers. Cortical bone thickness and bone density were significantly lower after than before treatment in both smokers and nonsmokers. CONCLUSION In addition to all of its known dangers, cigarette smoking may also harm the alveolar bone by decreasing the bone thickness and density during orthodontic treatment in heavy smokers.

Abstract
Purpose
This study investigated the effects of insertion speed of dental implants on their stability.
Methods
Dental implants were inserted at speeds of 4, 10, 20, and 30 rpm, respectively, into artificial bones of two different bone qualities; namely, good bone (GB) and poor bone (PB). Therefore, the four insertion speeds and two bone qualities totaled eight groups, with five specimens per group. During the insertion process, the maximum insertion torque value (ITV) was measured, along with two stability parameters: periotest value (PTV) and initial stability quotient (ISQ).
Results
Dental implants in the GB group exhibited better stability than those in the PB group (p < 0.001). Significant differences in ITVs were observed among the four insertion speeds in both the GB and PB groups (p = 0.004 and p = 0.034, respectively). In general, the higher the insertion speed, the lower the ITV; in particular, the ITVs for implants inserted at 4 rpm were higher than those measured at 20 and 30 rpm (p = 0.008). However, regardless of the bone quality, the PTVs did not differ significantly among the four insertion speeds (p = 0.066). In both the GB and PB groups, the ISQs differed significantly differences among the four insertion speeds (p = 0.016 and p = 0.004, respectively).
Conclusion
The stability parameters measured for dental implants in the GB group were all higher than those measured in the PB group. In general, a higher insertion speed resulted in a lower ITV value. The PTV did not differ significantly, while the ISQ differed significantly among the four insertion speeds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform quantitative biomechanical analysis, probing the effect of varying thread shapes in an implant for improved primary stability in prosthodontics surgery. METHODS Dental implants with square (SQR), buttress (BUT) and triangular (TRI) thread shapes or their combinations. Cone-beam computed tomography images of mandible molar zones in human subjects belonging to three age groups were used for virtual implantation of designed implants, to quantify patient-specific peri-implant bone micro-strain, using finite element analyses. The in silico analyses were carried out considering frictional contact to simulate immediate loading with a static masticatory force of 200 N. In order to validate computational biomechanics results, compression tests were performed on 3D printed implants having investigated thread architectures. Bone/implant contact areas were also quantitatively assessed. RESULTS Bone/implant contact was maximum for SQR implants followed by BUT and TRI implants. For all the cases, peak micro-strain was recorded in the cervical cortical bone. The combination of different thread shapes in the middle or apical part (or both) was demonstrated to improve peri-implant micro-strain particularly for BUT and TRI. CONCLUSIONS Considering 1500-2000 micro-strain generates in peri-implant bone during regular physiological functioning, BUT-SQR, BUT-TRI-SQR, TRI-SQR-BUT, SQR, SQR-BUT-TRI design concepts were suitable for younger; BUT-TRI-SQR, BUT-SQR-TRI, TRI-SQR-BUT, SQR-BUT, SQR-TRI for middle-aged, and BUT-TRI-SQR, BUT-SQR-TRI, TRI-BUT-SQR, SQR, SQR-TRI for older group of human patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the effect of physiological and dental implant-related parameter variations on the osseointegration for an implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Eight design factors were considered (implant shape, diameter, and length; thread pitch, depth, and profile; cantilever [CL] length and implant-loading protocol). Total 36 implantation scenarios were simulated using finite element method based on Taguchi L36 orthogonal array. Three patient-specific bone conditions were also simulated by scaling the density and Young's modulus of a mandible sample to mimic weak, normal, and strong bones. Taguchi method was employed to determine the significance of each design factor in controlling the peri-implant cortical bone microstrain. For normal bone condition, CL length had the maximum contribution (28%) followed by implant diameter (18%), thread pitch (14%), implant length (8%), and thread profile (5%). For strong bone condition, CL and implant diameter had equal contribution (32%) followed by thread pitch (7%) and implant length (5%). For weak bone condition, implant diameter had the highest contribution (31%) followed by CL length (30%), thread pitch (11%) and implant length (8%). The presence of distal CL in dental framework was found to be the most influential design factor, which can cause high strain in the cervical cortical bone. It was seen that implant diameter had more effect compared to implant length toward peri-implant bone biomechanical response. Implant-loading time had no significant effect towards peri-implant bone biomechanical response, signifying immediate loading is possible with sufficient mechanical retention.

Abstract
Abstract
The term bone quality is not clearly defined and depends on many factors, such as bone density, bone vascularity, bone metabolism and other factors that may affect implant outcome. The assessment of bone volume and bone density is most common in planning the treatment of dental implants. Bone quality is an important predictor of primary implant stability, which influences the future implant osseointegration. Numerous classifications have been described for the evaluation of bone density. The most commonly used has been the one proposed by Lekholmu and Zarb. For the objective evaluation of bone density, conventional computed tomography (CT) or Cone Beam Computed tomography (CBCT), have been proposed. Both methods are reliable for the measurement of bone density, but preference is given to CBCT, due to the lower radiation doses, greater comfort for the patient and the lower prices. Pre-operatively defined bone density is a good indicator of the future success of implant therapy. In addition to the bone density, vascularity of the jawbone is an important factor of the quality of the bone for the osseointegration of dental implants. Laser Doppler is a simple method that can determine the vascularity of bone during implant insertion. The development of modern diagnostic methods for assessing the quantity and quality of the jawbone has enabled easier implant planning and has provided a secure outcome.

Abstract
Primary stability in low-density bone is crucial for the long-term success of implants. Tapered implants have shown particularly favourable properties under such conditions. The aim of this study was to compare the primary stability of tapered titanium and novel cylindrical zirconia dental implant systems in low-density bone. Fifty implants (25 tapered, 25 cylindrical) were placed in the anterior maxillary bone of cadavers meeting the criteria of low-density bone. The maximum insertion (ITV) and removal (RTV) torque values were recorded, and the implant stability quotients (ISQ) determined. To establish the isolated influence of cancellous bone on primary stability, the implantation procedure was performed in standardized low-density polyurethane foam bone blocks (cancellous bone model) using the same procedure. The primary stability parameters of both implant types showed significant positive correlations with bone density (Hounsfield units) and cortical thickness. In the cadaver, the cylindrical zirconia implants showed a significantly higher mean ISQ when compared to the tapered titanium implants (50.58 vs 37.26; P < 0.001). Pearson analysis showed significant positive correlations between ITV and ISQ (P = 0.016) and between RTV and ISQ (P = 0.035) for the cylindrical zirconia implants; no such correlations were observed for the tapered titanium implants. Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that cylindrical zirconia implants represent a comparable viable treatment option to tapered titanium implants in terms of primary implant stability in low-density human bone.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bone–miniscrew contact percentage (BMC%) and bone quality and quantity on orthodontic miniscrew stability and the maximum insertion torque value (ITV). Orthodontic miniscrews of five different dimensions and several bovine iliac bone specimens were used in the evaluation. Miniscrews of each dimension group were inserted into 20 positions in bovine iliac bone specimens. The experiment was divided into three parts: (1) Bone quality and quantity were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and microcomputed tomography. (2) The 3D BMC% was calculated. (3) The ITVs during miniscrew insertion were recorded to evaluate the stability of the orthodontic miniscrews. The results indicated that longer and thicker miniscrews enabled higher ITVs. CBCT was used to accurately measure cortical bone thickness (r = 0.939, P < 0.05) and to predict the bone volume fraction of cancellous bone (r = 0.752, P < 0.05). BMC% was significantly influenced by miniscrew length. The contribution of cortical bone thickness to the ITV is greater than that of cancellous bone structure, and the contribution of cortical bone thickness to BMC% is greater than that of cancellous bone structure. Finally, the higher is BMC%, the greater is the ITV. This study concludes that use of CBCT may predict the mechanical stability of orthodontic miniscrews.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary goal of maxillary alveolar cleft reconstruction in patients with cleft lip/palate at the phase of mixed dentition is to build bone in the cleft area which in turn allows closure of the oronasal fistula, establishes arch continuity, and improve maxillary stability. This study aimed to evaluate the double iliac corticocancellous bone plates grafting technique for initial alveolar cleft grafting. DESIGN This prospective study was conducted on 12 consecutive patients with unilateral complete alveolar cleft and previous cleft lip and palate corrective surgery. INTERVENTION For all patients, the iliac crest graft was harvested and cut into 2 cortical bone plates and adapted labially and palatally. Both plates were fixed with screws then the gap between the 2 plates was filled with cancellous bone. The grafted side was compared to the contralateral side 9 months postoperatively regarding labio-palatal alveolar width and bone density, while the 9 months postoperative graft height was compared to the immediate postoperative height using computed tomography scans. RESULTS All grafted sides showed similarity to the contralateral sides regarding both alveolar width and bone density with minimal crestal bone resorption. CONCLUSION The double iliac corticocancellous bone plate grafting technique seems to be a reliable method for alveolar cleft reconstruction with adequate bone quality and contour.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dental implants to restore edentulous parts of the jaws is a common and well-documented treatment method. Effective dental implant treatment is known to be affected by both the quality and the quantity of bone required for implant placement, bone quality is a critical factor to consider when predicting stability of implants. Thus, stability of the initial implant and the possibility of early loading could be predicated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and primary stability parameters before implant placement. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to objectively assess bone density obtained by CBCT and the correlations with primary stability of dental implants using implant stability meter IST device. METHODS A total of 40 implants were placed in 16 patients (9 males and 7 females with a range of 22 to 61 years (mean age 40.44 ± 12.3 years). The bone densities of implant recipient sites were preoperatively recorded using CBCT. The maximum insertion torque value of each implant was measured by engine during implant placement and compared to the primary stability for every implant using implant stability meter device (IST). RESULTS A statistically significant correlation was found between bone density value from CBCT with the primary implant stability and insertion torque. CONCLUSION Although the small samples size, the study shown bone density assessment using CBCT is an efficient method and significantly correlated with primary stability using implant stability meter device IST and insertion torque.

Abstract
Background Osseodensification (OD) has shown to improve implant stability; however, the influences of implant design, dimensions, and surgical site characteristics are unknown. Purpose To compare the insertion torque (IT) and temporal implant stability quotients (ISQ) of implants placed via OD or subtractive drilling (SD). Materials and Methods This multicenter controlled clinical trial enrolled 56 patients, whom were in need of at least 2 implants (n = 150 implants). Patients were treated with narrow, regular, or wide implants and short, regular, or long implants in the anterior or posterior region of the maxilla or in the posterior region of the mandible. Osteotomies were performed following manufacturers recommendation. IT was recorded with a torque indicator. ISQ was recorded with resonance frequency analysis immediately after surgery, 3 and 6 weeks. Results Data complied as a function of osteotomy indicated significantly higher IT for OD relative to SD. OD outperformed conventional SD for all pairwise comparisons of arches (maxilla and mandible) and areas operated (anterior and posterior), diameters and lengths of the implants, except for short implants. Overall, ISQ data also demonstrated significantly higher values for OD compared to SD regardless of the healing period. Relative to immediate readings, ISQ values significantly decreased at 3 weeks, returning to immediate levels at 6 weeks; however, ISQ values strictly remained above 68 throughout healing time for OD. Data as a function of arch operated and osteotomy, area operated and osteotomy, implant dimensions and osteotomy, also exhibited higher ISQ values for OD relative to SD on pairwise comparisons, except for short implants. Conclusions OD demonstrated higher IT and temporal ISQ values relative to SD, irrespective of arch and area operated as well as implant design and dimension, with an exception for short implants. Future studies should focus on biomechanical parameters and bone level change evaluation after loading.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to compare the trabecular bone microstructures of anterior and posterior edentulous regions of human mandible using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro computed tomography (µCT). Methods Twenty volumes of interests consisting of six anterior and fourteen posterior edentulous regions were obtained from human mandibular cadavers. A CBCT system with a resolution of 80 µm (3D Accuitomo 170, J. Morita, Kyoto, Japan) and a µCT system with a resolution of 35 µm (SkyScan 1173, Kontich, Belgium) were used to scan the mandibles. Three structural parameters namely, trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) were analysed using CTAn software (v 1.11, SkyScan, Kontich, Belgium). For each system, the measurements obtained from anterior and posterior regions were tested using independent sample t-test. Subsequently, all measurements between systems were tested using paired t-test. Results In CBCT, all parameters of the anterior and posterior mandible showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). However, µCT showed a significant different of Tb.Th (p = 0.023) between anterior and posterior region. Regardless of regions, the measurements obtained using both imaging systems were significantly different (p ≤ 0.021) for Tb.Th and Tb.N. Conclusions The current study demonstrated that only the variation of Tb.Th between anterior and posterior edentulous region of mandible can be detected using µCT. In addition, CBCT is less feasible than µCT in assessing trabecular bone microstructures at both regions.

Abstract
Repair of bone deficiencies in the craniofacial skeleton remains a challenging clinical problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of a plasma-derived albumin scaffold, alveolar osteoblasts and synthetic membrane implanted into experimental mandibular defects. Bilateral mandibular defects were created in twelve immunodeficient rats. The bone defect was filled with serum scaffold alone in left sides and scaffold combined with human alveolar osteoblast in right side defects. Implanted areas were closed directly in Group 1 (n = 6) and covered by a resorbable polyglycolic-polylactic acid membrane in Group 2 (n = 6). Bone regeneration was determined at 12 weeks as measured by and exhaustive multiplanar computed tomography analysis and histological examination. No significant differences in bone density were observed between defects transplanted with scaffold alone or scaffold seeded with osteoblasts. The use of membrane did not result in a determining factor in the grade of bone regeneration between Groups 1 and 2. Based on these results, it could be concluded that the albumin scaffold alone has osteoinductive capacity but presence of seeded ostogenic cells accelerates defect repair without being significantly influenced by covering the defect with a resorbable membrane.

Its survival rate is considerably affected by host bone quality and quantity, which is often assessed prior to surgery through dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Dental CBCT was used in this study to evaluate dental implant sites for (1) differences in and (2) correlations between cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness among four regions of the jawbone. In total, 315 dental implant sites (39 in the anterior mandible, 42 in the anterior maxilla, 107 in the posterior mandible, and 127 in the posterior maxilla) were identified in dental CBCT images from 128 patients. All CBCT images were loaded into Mimics 15.0 to measure cancellous bone density (unit: grayscale value (GV) and cortical bone thickness (unit: mm)). Differences among the four regions of the jawbone were evaluated using one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe's posttest. Pearson coefficients for correlations between cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness were also calculated for the four jawbone regions. The results revealed that the mean cancellous bone density was highest in the anterior mandible (722 ± 227 GV), followed by the anterior maxilla (542 ± 208 GV), posterior mandible (535 ± 206 GV), and posterior maxilla (388 ± 206 GV). Cortical bone thickness was highest in the posterior mandible (1.15 ± 0.42 mm), followed by the anterior mandible (1.01 ± 0.32 mm), anterior maxilla (0.89 ± 0.26 mm), and posterior maxilla (0.72 ± 0.19 mm). In the whole jawbone, a weak correlation (r = 0.133, p = 0.041) was detected between cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness. Furthermore, except for the anterior maxilla (r = 0.306, p = 0.048), no correlation between the two bone parameters was observed (all p > 0.05). Cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness varies by implant site in the four regions of the jawbone. The cortical and cancellous bone of a jawbone dental implant site should be evaluated individually before surgery.

Abstract
Satisfactory host bone quality and quantity promote greater primary stability and better osseointegration, leading to a high success rate in the use of dental implants. However, the increase in life expectancy as a result of medical advancements has led to an aging population, suggesting that osteoporosis may become a problem in clinical dental implant surgery. Notably, relative to the general population, bone insufficiency is more common in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis. The objective of this study was to compare the thickness of the crestal cortical bone at prospective dental implant sites between menopausal and non-menopausal women. Prospective dental implant sites in the jawbone were evaluated in two groups of women: a younger group (<50 years old), with 149 sites in 48 women, and an older group (>50 years old) with 191 sites, in 37 women. The thickness of the crestal cortical bone at the dental implant site was measured based on each patient’s dental cone-beam computed tomography images. For both groups, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post-test were used to assess the correlation between cortical bone thickness and the presence of implants in the four jawbone regions. Student’s t-test was further used to compare differences between the older and younger groups. From the retrospective study results, for both groups, thickness of the crestal cortical bone was the highest in the posterior mandible, followed by anterior mandible, anterior maxilla, and posterior maxilla. Compared with the younger group, the older group had a lower mean thickness of the crestal cortical bone. Among the four regions, however, only in the posterior maxilla was the crestal cortical bone significantly thinner in the older group than in the younger group.

Abstract
Assessing bone quality and quantity at the location of dental implants before dental implantation is crucial. In recent years, dental cone-beam computed tomography (dental CBCT) has often been used to assess bone quality and quantity prior to dental implant. However, the effect of scanning resolution on the prediction of trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters (TBMPs) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to examine how dental CBCT with various scanning resolution differs with regard to predicting TBMPs. This study used micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) with 18 μm resolution and dental CBCT with 100 μm and 150 μm resolutions on 28 fresh bovine vertebrae cancellous bone specimens. Subsequently, all images were input into the ImageJ software to measure four TBMPs: bone volume total volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). One-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test were subsequently used to assess the differences between three scanning modes for the four TBMPs. In addition, correlations between measurement results obtained from micro-CT and dental CBCT with two resolutions were measured. The experimental results indicated that significant differences in four TBMPs were observed between micro-CT and dental CBCT (p < 0.05). The correlation coefficients between BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Sp obtained from micro-CT and from dental CBCT with 100 μm resolution (0.840, 0.739, and 0.820, respectively) were greater than the correlation coefficients between BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Sp obtained from micro-CT and from dental CBCT with 150 μm resolution (0.758, 0.367, and 0.724, respectively). The experimental results revealed that the TBMPs measured with dental CBCT with two resolutions differed from ideal values, but a higher resolution could provide more accurate prediction results, particularly for BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Sp.

Abstract
Purpose This clinical pilot study was performed to determine the effectiveness of dual-energy cone-beam computed tomography (DE-CBCT) in measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Materials and Methods The BMD values obtained using DE-CBCT were compared to those obtained using calibrated multislice computed tomography (MSCT). After BMD calibration with specially designed phantoms, both DE-CBCT and MSCT scanning were performed in 15 adult dental patients. Three-dimensional (3D) Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data were imported into a dental software program, and the defined regions of interest (ROIs) on the 3-dimensional surface-rendered images were identified. The automatically-measured BMD values of the ROIs (g/cm3), the differences in the measured BMD values of the matched ROIs obtained by DE-CBCT and MSCT 3D images, and the correlation between the BMD values obtained by the 2 devices were statistically analyzed. Results The mean BMD values of the ROIs for the 15 patients as assessed using DE-CBCT and MSCT were 1.09±0.07 g/cm3 and 1.13±0.08 g/cm3, respectively. The mean of the differences between the BMD values of the matched ROIs as assessed using DE-CBCT and calibrated MSCT images was 0.04±0.02 g/cm3. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the BMD values of DE-CBCT and MSCT images was 0.982 (r=0.982, P<0.001). Conclusion The newly developed DE-CBCT technique could be used to measure jaw BMD in dentistry and may soon replace MSCT, which is expensive and requires special facilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marginal bone stability is considered one of the most important issues in implant dentistry. It is essential to understand how various factors influence bone resorption around implants. The purpose of this retrospective longitudinal study was to identify potential risk indicators associated with marginal bone resorption around implants in function for at least 4 years. METHODS Several systemic-related, intraoral-related, implant-related factors were collected. Marginal bone level change (MBLC) was determined by comparing intraoral radiographs taken at baseline (1 year after prosthesis delivery), and at follow-up (over 3 years from baseline). A hierarchical regression analysis using liner mixed-effects models was performed to examine correlations between MBLC and various factors. RESULTS Overall, 514 patients with 1535 implants were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 62.9 years. Mean annual MBLC was 0.048 mm, and mean functional time was 5.96 years. The result showed that the following explanatory variables had significant effects on MBLC: functional time, plaque control record > 20%, Eichner index C1-3, maxilla, cement-retained superstructure, and keratinized mucosa width < 2 mm. We did not find statistically significant associations between bone resorption and some variables known as risk factors, such as diabetes, smoking, and history of periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of this study, longer functional time, poor oral hygiene, loss of occlusal support, location in the maxilla, cement-retained superstructure, and less keratinized mucosa should be considered as risk indicators for bone resorption around implants.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze three-dimensionally the morphological characteristics of the pterygomaxillary region related to pterygoid implants. Volume, height, width and bone density were studied in relation to age, sex and dental status. This retrospective observational study analyzed the CBCT of 52 hemi-maxillas three-dimensionally (females n = 28, males n = 24; dentate = 31, edentulous = 21). Patients were exposed between September 2009 and October 2014, and data collection was performed between November 2015 and May 2016. Bone density, volume, height and width were analyzed in various locations of the maxilla and pterygoid process, and the variables age, gender and dental status patients were compared. The results show that the mean width of the pterygomaxillary joint was 7.5 mm (SD 1.00 mm), mean height was 12.51 mm (SD 1,82 mm) and mean volume was 321.7 mm3 (SD 142.02 mm3). Statistically significant differences between dentate and edentulous patients were found, showing a higher osseous density in dentate patients in the pterygoid process (758.2, SD 106.8, 95% CI 729.2 to 787.3 GSD - Gray Scale Density - compared to 689.9, SD 107.3, 95% CI 660.8 to 719.1 GSD; P = 0.022). In the maxilla, density was statistically significant lower in female subjects (571.0, SD 74.1, 95% CI 594.9 to 645.4 GSD) than in male subjects (620.2, SD 93.8, 95% CI 594.4 to 645.4 GSD, P = 0.047). In conclusion, due to the significant variation in the morphological characteristics of the pterygomaxillary region among subjects, personalized pre-surgical radiological assessment should always be performed. Gender, age and dental status are critical factors as they significantly affect bone density in this region.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Implant osseointegration is strongly influenced by the bone quality at the implant insertion site. The present work aims to create distribution diagrams showing the average bone density at each position within the jaws. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from 4 oral surgeons who sought bone-density measurements during implant placement using a torque-measuring implant micromotor. Statistical analyses were performed to investigate whether bone density correlated with the patients' sex and age and whether the bone-density values at different positions within each arch correlated to each other. RESULTS Records of 2408 patients and 6060 bone-density readings were retrieved, and density distribution diagrams were created. Density values showed a significant variation within subjects. Within the same jaw, density between adjacent positions showed significant differences. Density at a given position correlated significantly with that at the other positions in most cases. Bone density was significantly lower in women than in men; no significant correlation was found between bone density and the patient age. CONCLUSIONS Bone density of patients displays significant interindividual variation, thus meaningful assessment must be conducted on a patient-by-patient basis.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Determination of interactive loading between a dental prosthesis and the host mandible is essential for implant prosthodontics and to preserve bone. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a robotic mastication simulator to replicate the human mastication force cycle to record the required interactive loading using specifically designed force sensors. MATERIAL AND METHODS This robotic mastication simulator incorporated a Stewart parallel kinematic mechanism (PKM) controlled in the force-control loop. The hydraulically operated PKM executed the wrench operation, which consisted of the combined effect of forces and moments exhibited by the mastication process. Principal design features of this robotic simulator included PKM kinematic modeling, static force analysis to realize the masticatory wrench characteristics, and the architecture of its hydraulic system. Additionally, the design of a load-sensing element for the mandible and implant interaction was also incorporated. This element facilitated the quantification of the load distribution between implants and the host bone during the masticatory operation produced by the PKM. These loading tests were patient-specific and required separate artificial mandibular models for each patient. RESULTS The simulation results demonstrated that the robotic PKM could replicate human mastication. These results validated the hydraulic system modeling for the required range of masticatory movements and effective forces of the PKM end-effector. The overall structural design of the robotic mastication simulator presented the integration of the PKM and its hydraulic system with the premeditated load-recording mechanism. CONCLUSIONS The developed system facilitated the teeth-replacement procedure. The PKM accomplished the execution of mastication cycle involving 6 degrees of freedom, enabling any translation and rotation in sagittal, horizontal, and vertical planes. The mechanism can simulate the human mastication cycle and has a force application range of up to 2000 N. The designed load-sensing element can record interactive forces within the range of 200 N to 2000 N with fast response and high sensitivity to produce a robotic mastication simulator with custom-made modules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of an early loading protocol of splinted implants with a fluoride-modified nanostructure surface and a tapered apex design for the therapy of posterior partial edentulism of mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and seven implants were placed in the mandible of 45 subjects at three centres in China. A minimum of two and a maximum of three implants were placed in an edentulous region using a one-stage protocol. Each subject received a screw-retained, splinted and fixed permanent prosthesis 6-8 weeks after surgery. Marginal bone level (MBL) change, implant survival and soft tissue health were assessed at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after loading. A total of 92 implants from 40 subjects were recalled and investigated in this clinical trial. RESULTS After three-year loading, the survival rate of implant was 100%. On a subject level, there was a mean (±SD) marginal bone gain of 0.23 ± 0.48 mm at 36-month recall and the change in MBL was statistically significant (p = .00061) compared with time of loading. On an implant level, the change in MBL was statistically significant (p = .03914, p = .01494, p = .00000) at 12, 24 and 36 months of loading compared with time of loading. CONCLUSION Three-year data indicate that early loading protocol of splinted implants with a fluoride-modified nanostructure surface and a tapered apex design is feasible and safe for the therapy of partial edentulism in posterior mandible, which may contribute to bone gain when the suitable occlusal load and oral hygiene maintenance are kept.

[PMID: 30674282 PMCID: PMC6343305 DOI: 10.1186/s12880-019-0313-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2018] [Accepted: 01/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In this study, we explored how various preprocessing approaches can be employed to enhance the capability of dental CBCT to accurately estimate trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters. Methods In total, 30 bovine vertebrae cancellous bone specimens were used for in study. Voxel resolution 18-μm micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and 100-μm dental CBCT were used to scan each specimen. Micro-CT images were used to calculate trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters; the results were set as the gold standard. Subsequently, before the dental CBCT images were converted into binary images to calculate trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters, three preprocessing approaches were used to process the dental CBCT images. For Group 1, no preprocessing approach was applied. For Group 2, images were sharpened and despeckable noises were removed. For Group 3, the function of local thresholding was added to Group 2 to form Group 3. For Group 4, the air pixels was removed from Group 3 to form Group 4. Subsequently, all images were imported into a software package to estimate trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters (bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (TbTh), trabecular number (TbN), and trabecular separation (TbSp)). Finally, a paired t-test and a Pearson correlation test were performed to compare the capability of micro-CT with the capability of dental CBCT for estimating trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters. Results Regardless of whether dental CBCT images underwent image preprocessing (Groups 1 to 4), the four trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters measured using dental CBCT images were significantly different from those measured using micro-CT images. However, after three image preprocessing approaches were applied to the dental CBCT images (Group 4), the BV/TV obtained using dental CBCT was highly positively correlated with that obtained using micro-CT (r = 0.87, p < 0.001); the correlation coefficient was greater than that of Group 1 (r = −0.15, p = 0.412), Group 2 (r = 0.16, p = 0.386), and Group 3 (r = 0.47, p = 0.006). After dental CBCT images underwent image preprocessing, the efficacy of using dental CBCT for estimating TbN and TbSp was enhanced. Conclusions Image preprocessing approaches can be used to enhance the efficacy of using dental CBCT for predicting trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess bone quality in patient's preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and their relation with marginal bone loss at implant placement sites over follow-up periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 100 implants were evaluated. The implants had been placed in the maxillary and mandibular edentulous areas. Bone quality at implant placement sites was measured on preoperative CBCTs and then classified by two observers according to Lekholm and Zarb classification. Marginal bone height was then measured on periapical radiographs obtained at baseline and then 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months' follow-up periods from a reference point (implant shoulder) to the bone-implant interface. The relation between bone quality and bone loss was assessed. ANOVA was used to compare mean difference among groups and Pearson correlation coefficient to assess the correlation between observers. All statistical analyses were performed at 0.05 significance level using Stata 11 software (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). RESULTS Of 100 implants, 48 were placed in the maxilla and 52 in the mandible. There was no significant difference between bone quality and the mean bone loss at follow-up periods. Using Pearson's correlation coefficient, it was shown that with an increase in bone quality, marginal bone loss was decreased at follow-up periods. CONCLUSIONS The results confirmed that during the follow-up periods, less bone loss was observed in implant areas with higher bone quality and CBCT is a reliable tool for assessing bone quality at implant placement sites and estimation of subsequent treatment prognosis.

Abstract
Background A current implant body surface was treated with “rough processing” by sandblasting and acid etching for the purposes of obtaining more reliable osseointegration and shortening the treatment period. Various reports have examined the healing period with the use of these implant bodies, but a consensus opinion has not yet been obtained. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) at implant treatment using the current rough-surfaced implant. We evaluated the implant treatment sites with ISQ values, IT values, and voxel values. Methods Participants in this study comprised 26 patients (10 males, 16 females; mean age, 55.5 years) who received posterior region dental implants at Tokyo Dental College Hospital or Fukuoka Dental College Hospital. For all participants, pretreatment computed tomography and determination of bone quality from voxel values were performed. Thirty-two implant bodies were inserted into the posterior region, and insertion torque was measured. ISQ was also measured at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Results Eight implant bodies in the maxilla and 24 in the mandible were inserted. All ISQ values increased, exceeding 60 by 6 weeks postoperatively. For insertion torque < 30 N cm, ISQ increased significantly after 8 weeks. For ≥ 30 N cm, the ratio at which high ISQ values appeared increased significantly after 6 weeks. Compared with the treatment area with insertion torque < 40 N cm, the treatment area ≥ 40 N cm showed a significantly higher voxel value. Conclusions No significant relationship was found between the insertion torque value and the ISQ value. Also, it was suggested that the ISQ value was considered to be an important indicator for observing the treatment state of the implant.

Osteocyte morphology and orientation in relation to strain in the jaw bone. Int J Oral Sci 2018; 10:2.

Abstract
Bone mass is important for dental implant success and is regulated by mechanoresponsive osteocytes. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the levels and orientation of tensile strain and morphology and orientation of osteocytes at different dental implant positions in the maxillary bone. Bone biopsies were retrieved from eight patients who underwent maxillary sinus-floor elevation with β-tricalcium phosphate prior to implant placement. Gap versus free-ending locations were compared using 1) a three-dimensional finite-element model of the maxilla to predict the tensile strain magnitude and direction and 2) histology and histomorphometric analyses. The finite-element model predicted larger, differently directed tensile strains in the gap versus free-ending locations. The mean percentage of mineralised residual native-tissue volume, osteocyte number (mean ± standard deviations: 97 ± 40/region-of-interest), and osteocyte shape (~90% elongated, ~10% round) were similar for both locations. However, the osteocyte surface area was 1.5-times larger in the gap than in the free-ending locations, and the elongated osteocytes in these locations were more cranially caudally oriented. In conclusion, significant differences in the osteocyte surface area and orientation seem to exist locally in the maxillary bone, which may be related to the tensile strain magnitude and orientation. This might reflect local differences in the osteocyte mechanosensitivity and bone quality, suggesting differences in dental implant success based on the location in the maxilla.

Abstract
Introduction: A correct diagnosis and optimal treatment planning is essential for success in implant dentistry. Proper diagnosis of bone quality is an important part of the diagnostic procedure. Objective: The purpose of this study was to correlate the tactile sense of the surgeon in the assessment of bone density to the histomorphometric analysis of bone quality. Methods: In this study, 56 bone samples from 33 patients were harvested from implant sites with trephine drills. The samples were analyzed with Image J software. In the samples following parameters were measured: BV/TV, superficial cortical plate thickness, the number and thickness of haversian canals in cortical bone and the number, thickness and distance of trabecules in cancellous bone. The clinical hardness of bone during drilling was evaluated by surgeon according to Misch. GEE analysis with exchangeable correlation structure and linear model was used to evaluate the relationship between the tactile sense of the surgeon and histomorphometric parameters and all analysis was adjusted for two confounding variables: gender and location. Results: There were 51.79% implants in D2 samples and 48.21% in D3. Bone classification according to Misch was significantly correlated to distance of trabecules in cancellous bone (P-value=0.05), and shown marginally significant correlation with mean superficial cortical bone thickness (P-value =0.07) and number of haversian canals (P-value =0.005) in cortical bone. Discussion: There were differences between our results and others. The authors believed that these differences mainly are because of confounding factors, that in this study were eliminated. The clinical finding during surgery can approximately explain the histologic properties of bone. Conclusion: It is concluded that tactile sense of the surgeon can exhibit the histologic properties of the bone, and we are able to estimate the healing prognosis of the bone in implant placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) can be used to treat osteoporosis of the spine and hip. However, whether it can be used to treat osteoporosis of the mandible is unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of applying intermittent PTH to ovariectomized rats on the trabecular bone microarchitecture of the mandible and femoral head. METHODS Eighteen female rats were divided into three groups: the healthy group, ovariectomized (OVX) group, and OVX + PTH group. The OVX group and OVX + PTH group had an OVX at 8 weeks of age. The OVX + PTH group received intermittent PTH therapy for 12 weeks. The mandibles and femurs of all rats were removed at 20 weeks and were then scanned using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). RESULTS From the micro-CT analysis, the trabecular bone microarchitecture of the mandible and femoral head are offered as follows: (1) The bone volume fraction and trabecular thickness in the OVX group were lower than those in the healthy group. (2) The bone volume fraction and trabecular thickness in the OVX + PTH group approximated those in the healthy group. CONCLUSION The conclusions of this study regarding the trabecular bone microarchitecture of the mandible and femoral head are offered as follows: (1) The BV/TV and TbTh in the OVX group were lower than those in the healthy group. (2) The BV/TV and TbTh in the OVX + PTH group approximated those in the healthy group, therefore, intermittent PTH displayed high efficacy for treating femoral or mandibular deterioration of bone microstructure resulting from loss of ovarian function. Osteoporosis of the femur or mandible in the rats was ameliorated by intermittent PTH therapy.

Abstract
In our previous studies, a novel cortex-like TiO2 coating was prepared on Ti surface through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) by using sodium tetraborate as electrolyte, and the effects of the coating on cell attachment were testified. This study aimed to investigate the effects of this cortex-like MAO coating on osseointegration. A sand-blasting and acid-etching (SLA) coating that has been widely used in clinical practice served as control. Topographical and chemical characterizations were conducted by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, contact angle meter, and step profiler. Results showed that the cortex-like coating had microslots and nanopores and it was superhydrophilic, whereas the SLA surface was hydrophobic. The roughness of MAO was similar to that of SLA. The MAO and SLA implants were implanted into the femoral condyles of New Zealand rabbits to evaluate their in-vivo performance through micro-CT, histological analysis, and fluorescent labeling at the bone-implant interface four weeks after surgery. The micro-CT showed that the bone volume ratio and mean trabecular thickness were similar between MAO and SLA groups four weeks after implantation. Histological analysis and fluorescent labeling showed no significant differences in the bone-implant contact between the MAO and SLA surfaces. It was suggested that with micro/nanostructure and superhydrophilicity, the cortex-like MAO coating causes excellent osseointegration, holding a promise of an application to implant modification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental implants have become reliable and predictable tools for treating missing teeth. The survival rate of dental implants is markedly influenced by the host bone quality and quantity of the jawbone. A better host bone provides higher initial stability of the dental implant, resulting in better osseointegration and a higher success rate. Host bone quality and quantity are determined by the crestal cortical bone thickness and inner cancellous bone density. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the crestal cortical bone thickness at dental implant sites in different regions of the jawbone through the use of dental cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 661 dental implant sites (81 in the anterior mandible, 122 in the anterior maxilla, 224 in the posterior mandible, and 234 in the posterior maxilla) were obtained from the jawbones of 173 humans. The data were subjected to statistical analysis to determine any correlation between crestal cortical bone thicknesses and jawbone regions using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post-test. RESULTS The crestal cortical bone thicknesses at dental implant sites in the four regions decreased in the following order: posterior mandible (1.07 ± 0.47 mm, mean ± SD) >anterior mandible (0.99 ± 0.36 mm) >anterior maxilla (0.82 ± 0.30 mm) >posterior maxilla (0.75 ± 0.35 mm). CONCLUSION The dental CBCT data demonstrate that crestal cortical bone thickness varies markedly between dental implant sites in the four regions of the jawbone.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the bone density using the surgeon's tactile sense and compare it to the Lekholm and Zarb classification and computed tomography (CT) scan to see if correlations exist. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two implants were inserted in 22 patients. The bone densities of recipient site were preoperatively determined by density value as Hounsfield Units (HU) using CT scans. According to the Lekholm and Zarb classification, the bone quality scored 1 to 4 on cross-sectional CT. The clinical hardness of recipient sites were assessed on drilling by the surgeon's tactile sense and recorded as D1-D4 based on Misch criteria. Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between density values of implant sites. RESULTS The mean bone density was 536.94 ± 220.39 HU. There were 7.7% implants in bone type D1, 46.2% in D2, 32.7% in D3, and 13.5% in D4. Bone classification according to Lekholm and Zarb was significantly correlated to the surgeon's tactile sense (Spearman's rho = 0.36; P = 0.01) and with HU on CT images (Spearman's rho = -0.61; P < 0.001). The surgeon's tactile sense had a significant correlation with bone density in preoperative CT scans (Spearman's rho = -0.67; P < 0.001). A significant correlation was found between the bone density in HU with age (Spearman's rho = 0.34; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION A high-quality cross-sectional CT may suffice as a site-specific preoperative diagnostic predictor that can confirm and complement the tactile sense of the surgeon to help differentiate good, moderate, and poor bone density.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to determine the effective transmission of 660 and 780 nm lasers through mandibular and maxillary alveolar bones in the buccal-lingual/ palatal direction. Methods: The laser probe was positioned in direct contact with the surface of the anterior, middle and posterior regions of each bone (5 dried maxillae and 5 mandibles) and the power meter was positioned on the bone wall opposite to the radiated wall for the measure of the remaining energy passing through the bone tissue. Ten measurements were performed with each laser at each irradiated point. Results: Transmitted power was significantly higher in bones irradiated with 780 nm laser. Tendencies toward greater average power transmitted in the anterior region of both bones at both wavelengths were also observed. Conclusion: Dosimetry and the choice of light source may be adjusted according to the anatomic region of the alveolar bone to be treated.

Abstract
Few studies involving human participants have been conducted to investigate the effect of orthodontic treatment on alveolar bone density around the teeth. Our previous study revealed that patients who received 6 months of active orthodontic treatment exhibited an ∼24% decrease in alveolar bone density around the teeth. However, after an extensive retention period following orthodontic treatment, whether the bone density around the teeth can recover to its original state from before the treatment remains unclear, thus warranting further investigation.The purpose of this study was to assess the bone density changes around the teeth before, during, and after orthodontic treatment.Dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure the changes in bone density around 6 teeth in the anterior maxilla (maxilla central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines) of 8 patients before and after orthodontic treatment. Each patient underwent 3 dental CBCT scans: before treatment (T0); at the end of 7 months of active orthodontic treatment (T1); after several months (20-22 months) of retention (T2). The Friedman test was applied to evaluate the changes in the alveolar bone density around the teeth according to the 3 dental CBCT scans.From T0 to T1, a significant reduction in bone density was observed around the teeth (23.36 ± 10.33%); by contrast, a significant increase was observed from T1 to T2 (31.81 ± 23.80%). From the perspective of the overall orthodontic treatment, comparing the T0 and T2 scans revealed that the bone density around the teeth was relatively constant (a reduction of only 0.75 ± 19.85%). The results of the statistical test also confirmed that the difference in bone density between T0 and T2 was nonsignificant.During orthodontic tooth movement, the alveolar bone density around the teeth was reduced. However, after a period of bone recovery, the reduced bone density recovered to its previous state from before the orthodontic treatment. However, the bone density around ∼10% of the teeth in this region could not recover to 80% of its state from before the orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the 12-months clinical and radiological outcomes with the OsseoSpeed(™) TX implant using an early loading protocol in patients with missing teeth in the posterior mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-five subjects, with Kennedy class I or II edentulism in the mandible, were enrolled at three centres in China. Two or three implants were placed in one edentulous region using a one-stage procedure. Patients received a screw-retained splinted fixed permanent restoration in one edentulous region 6-8 weeks after surgery. Follow-up took place at 6 and 12 months after loading. Marginal bone level alteration, implant survival and clinical findings were assessed using descriptive statistics. The data were analysed on a patient level, implying that the mean overall implants by patient was used as the statistical unit. The data from the three centres were pooled in the statistical analyses. RESULTS A total of 107 implants were inserted in 45 patients. Twelve months after loading, the implant survival rate was 100%, with a mean (± std) marginal bone gain of 0.08 ± 0.411 mm and healthy soft tissue status. CONCLUSIONS Early loading of splinted OsseoSpeed(™) TX implants was an effective and safe treatment for partial edentulism of the posterior mandible. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ON CLINICALTRIALS.GOV: NCT01346683.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate histologically and histomorphometrically, the peri-implant bone reaction around implants subjected to controlled progressive orthodontic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS In three beagle dogs, bilateral edentulous flat alveolar ridges were created in the maxillary area posterior to the canines. After 8 weeks of healing, 24 implants (Biomet 3i) were inserted in the edentulous sites. Two experimental groups were created. Progressive loading group: Twelve implants were left to heal for 8 weeks uncovered, and abutments were adapted and connected by pairs with Ni-Ti orthodontic springs. A gradual static force of 100, 200 and 300 g was applied for a 3-week period each. Thus, a total progressive loading period of 9 weeks was exercised. Unloaded control group: Twelve implants were left to heal undisturbed. At the end of the experimental period, all implants of both groups were removed with the surrounding bone. Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed, and the following parameters were measured: bone-to-implant contact, bone density 1 and 2 mm distant to the implant threads and crestal bone resorption. Median regression models are used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Implants of the progressive loading group exhibited significantly higher percentage of bone-to-implant contact compared to the unloaded control implants (P = 0.018). Bone density 1 and 2 mm distant to the threads was found to be the same between the two groups (P = 0.734 and P = 0.961, respectively). Crestal bone resorption did not differ between loaded and unloaded implants (P = 0.813). CONCLUSION The application of progressive loading by controlled orthodontic force on osseointegrated implants provoked significant increase in the percentage of bone-to-implant contact of the low-density bone of the dog maxilla.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The evaluation of bone quality at the site of the alveolar bone for a dental implant is very important. This study presents an easy technique for direct evaluation of alveolar bone quality using nondecalcified cryofilm frozen sections on human alveolar bone core samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS Core samples harvested from alveolar bone were immediately frozen in cooled hexanen and slowly cut using a disposable tungsten carbide blade; the sliced sections were collected with adhesive cryofilms. Staining was performed using von toluidine blue and von Kossa for microscopic observations. RESULTS All core samples clearly showed bone structure components of cortical bone, trabecular bone, bone marrow, blood vessels, and bone-related cells. CONCLUSION These results suggest the efficacy of a nondecalcified cryofilm frozen section technique for histological observation of surgical implant sites.
