Effects of mechanical loads on osseous tissue around implant in rat maxillae
Background and aim: Dental implant treatment is one of the useful solutions to replacing missing teeth. Bone resorption around implants sometimes progresses under peri-implantitis, which negatively affect treatment success of patients. However, appropriate maintenance of bone tissue around implants for a long time under mechanical stresses such as occlusal and parafunctional loads remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate relationship between bone tissue around implants and mechanical loads mimicking occlusal loads. Methods: 9-week-old female, wistar rats were used.
