FGF-2 promotes initial osseointegration and enhances stability of implants with low primary stability

FGF‐2 promotes initial osseointegration and enhances stability of implants with low primary stability

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on osseointegration of dental implants with low primary stability in a beagle dog model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Customized titanium implants that were designed to have low contact with the existing bone were installed into the edentulous mandible of beagle dogs. To degrade the primary stability...

Low BMD affects initial stability and delays stem osseointegration in cementless total hip arthroplasty in women

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Immediate implant stability is a key factor for success in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). Low bone mineral density (BMD) and age-related geometric changes of the proximal femur may jeopardize initial stability and osseointegration. We compared migration of hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stems in women with or without low systemic BMD. PATIENTS AND METHODS 61 fe...

Primary Stability of Cemented Tibial Implants

Predictors of initial stability of orthodontic miniscrew implants.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to elucidate potential confounding factors affecting initial stability of miniscrews inserted to enhance orthodontic anchorage. Four hundred and seven miniscrews inserted in 168 patients treated by 17 orthodontic residents were analysed in a consecutive chart review. The outcome variable was the stability of the miniscrew, measured as a dichotomous va...

Implant stability change and osseointegration speed of immediately loaded photofunctionalized implants.

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the degree and rate of implant stability development for photofunctionalized dental implants in humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three implants (7 patients) placed in the maxilla and immediate loaded were evaluated. Photofunctionalization was performed by treating implants with ultraviolet for 15 minutes immediately before placement. Implant stability was a...
