Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study determined whether implant surfaces that promote osseointegration in normal rats can promote osseointegration in osteoporotic rats without pharmacologic intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS Virgin female 8-month-old CD Sprague Dawley rats (N = 25) were ovariectomized. At 6 weeks, microstructured/non-nanostructured/hydrophobic, microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophobic, or microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic Ti implants (Ø2.5 × 3.5 mm; Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) were placed in the distal metaphysis of each femur. At 28 days, bone quality and implant osseointegration were assessed using microCT, histomorphometrics, and removal torque values (RTVs). Calvarial osteoblasts were isolated and cultured for 7 days on Ø15 mm Ti disks processed to exhibit similar surface characteristics as the implants used for the in vivo studies. The phenotype was assessed by measuring the production of osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, BMP2, VEGF, and RANKL. RESULTS Microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic implants promoted increased bone-to-implant contact and RTVs in vivo and increased osteoblastic marker production in vitro compared to microstructured/non-nanostructured/hydrophobic and microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophobic implants, suggesting that osseointegration occurs in osteoporotic animals, and implant surface properties improve its rate. CONCLUSIONS Although all modified implants were able to osseointegrate in rats with OVX-induced osteoporosis without pharmacologic intervention, the degree of osseointegration was greater around microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic implant surfaces. These results suggest that when appropriate microstructure is present, hydrophilicity has a greater influence on Ti implant osseointegration compared to nanostructures. Moreover, modified implant surfaces can exert their control over the altered bone turnover observed in osteoporotic patients to stimulate functional osseointegration. These results provide critical insight for developing implants with improved osseointegration in patients with metabolic disorders of bone remodeling.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate osteointegration of HA-coated and uncoated titanium and stainless steel screws in the cortical bone of long-term (24 months) ovariectomized sheep (OVX group), in comparison with Sham-aged sheep (control group). The screws were tested biomechanically (extraction torque) and histomorphometrically (affinity index: Al) 12 weeks after their implantation in tibial diaphyses. Tibial cortical bone parameters showed significant differences between the groups, showing a reduction of the selected parameters in the OVX group. ANOVA showed significant effects for both material and ovariectomy factors on obtained extraction torque (material: F=159.26, p < 0.0005; ovariectomy: F=20.04, p < 0.0005) and Al data (material: F=8.04, p < 0.001; ovariectomy: F=7.17, p < 0.05). In both groups the extraction torque for coated screws of both materials was significantly higher than for uncoated screws, and uncoated titanium had a better extraction torque than uncoated stainless steel. In the OVX group, the HA-coated stainless steel and titanium Al data were significantly higher than uncoated Al data. In conclusion, the biomechanical and histomorphological results obtained suggest employing HA-coated screws in the presence of osteopenic cortical bone.

Abstract
A histomorphometric and ultrastructural evaluation on sheep iliac bone was performed. Six sheep were ovariectomised (OVX Group) and 6 were left intact (Sham-aged, Control Group). An iliac crest biopsy was performed randomly in 6 animals at the beginning of the study, then, in all the animals, after 12 and 24 months. A significant decrease in trabecular bone volume, trabecular thickness (p<0.0005) and cell volume (p<0.005) was observed in OVX animals. A modest decrease in trabecular number and osteoid thickness together with an increase in trabecular separation were observed in OVX animals at 12 and 24 months. The osteoid volume showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the groups. In OVX animals, at 12 months, Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed an enlargement of the trabecular space and a progressive replacement of bone matrix with adipose tissue. These signs were accentuated at 24 months. In conclusion, OVX sheep showed a loss of trabecular bone starting at 12 months after ovariectomy. The developed osteopenic state may be considered as a useful tool when doing research on biomaterial osteointegration. (Int J Artif Organs 2000; 23: 275–81)

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The overall aim of the study was to investigate a biofunctionalized implant surface with electrochemically deposition of hydroxyapatite and the synthetic peptide (P-15) and its effect on osseointegration. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three modified implant types of ANKYLOS® C/X implants were used; (1) machined implants used as negative control (M, n = 20), (2) implants with the FRIADENT® plus surface (grit blasted and acid-etched) used as positive control (P, n = 20), and (3) implants with a biomimetic surface consisting of hydroxyapatite and the synthetic 15 aminoacids containing peptide P-15 (BP, n = 40). The implants were randomly inserted in the mandibles of 10 beagle dogs following 4 months after tooth extraction (P1-P4). Three animals were sacrificed 2 and 7 days after implant insertion, respectively, and four animals were sacrificed 6 months post implant insertion. Bone-to-implant contacts (BICs) were analyzed via histomorphometrical analyses at five different region of interests (ROIs); two at the middle part on either side of the implant (ROI 1/4), two at the apical part of the implant at each side (ROI 2/3), and one at the tip of the implant (ROI 5). RESULTS All implant surfaces showed a high level of osseointegration and osteoconductivity. The cumulative implant survival rate (CSR) was 93.8%, 100% in the M, 85% in the P, and 95% in the BP group. No statistical difference in BICs at ROI 1/4, 2/3, and 5 could be shown between implant types following 2 and 7 days of healing. BIC values increased in all groups over time. After 6 months of healing the BP group showed superiority in BIC in ROI 2/3 (73.2 ± 15.6%) compared to the P (48.3 ± 10.6%) and M group (66.3 ± 30.2%) with a significant difference between BP and P (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION It is hypothesized, that the surface biofunctionalization improves peri-implant bone formation and remodeling, leading to an increased bone-to implant contact. However, within the limitations of the study set-up no benefit in the early phase of osseointegration could be established for dental implants with P-15 containing surface in this study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognosis of a dental implant depends on the mechanical properties of the bone. The preoperative diagnosis of bone quality has become more important, because the immediate loading procedure is now widely used, and a firm initial stability is required. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is an effective method of determining selectively the bone mineral density (BMD) of the trabecular bone mostly responsible for the survival of the implant. In this project, we investigated the relationship between the BMD measured by QCT and the mechanical strength of the mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS The BMD (mg/mL) of 58 trabecular bone specimens from 6 embalmed human cadaver mandibles were obtained using QCT. The compressive strength to break point was performed with a mechanical device. Each specimen was washed and weighed. RESULTS The mean values of BMD for the anterior, premolar, and molar region were 633.3, 571.0, and 518.3 mg/mL, respectively. The mean values of compressive strength were 0.237, 0.216, and 0.196 kN, and the ash weights were 0.047, 0.044, and 0.039 g, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the BMD and the mechanical strength (R = 0.77) and between the ash weight and the mechanical strength (R = 0.84). CONCLUSION There was strong correlation of bone strength, bone mineral, and bone density by QCT. QCT is an excellent preoperative diagnostic tool to select the most mechanically appropriate implant for initial stability and improve the survival prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated how the primary stability of a dental implant as measured by the insertion torque value (ITV), Periotest value (PTV), and implant stability quotient (ISQ) is affected by varying thicknesses of cortical bone and strengths of trabecular bone using synthetic bone models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four synthetic cortical shells (with thicknesses of 0, 1, 2, and 3 mm) were attached to four cellular rigid polyurethane foams (with elastic moduli of 137, 47.5, 23, and 12.4 MPa) and one open-cell rigid polyurethane foam which mimic the osteoporotic bone (with an elastic modulus 6.5 MPa), to represent the jawbones with various cortical bone thicknesses and strengths of trabecular bone. A total of 60 bone specimens accompanied with implants was examined by a torque meter, Osstell resonance frequency analyzer, and Periotest electronic device. All data were statistically analyzed by two-way analysis of variance. In addition, second-order nonlinear regression was utilized to assess the correlations of the primary implant stability with the four cortex thicknesses and five strengths of trabecular bone. RESULTS ITV, ISQ, and PTV differed significantly (p < .05) and were strongly correlated with the thickness of cortical bone (R(2) > 0.9) and the elastic modulus of trabecular bone (R(2) = 0.74-0.99). CONCLUSIONS The initial stability at the time of implant placement is influenced by both the cortical bone thickness and the strength of trabecular bone; however, these factors are mostly nonlinearly correlated with ITV, PTV, and ISQ. Using ITV and PTV seems more suitable for identifying the primary implant stability in osteoporotic bone with a thin cortex.

Abstract
Abstract
Every attempt must be made to keep implant failures to a minimum. Dental implant failure can roughly be divided into 3 broad categories: bacterial factors, occlusal (mechanical factors), and systemic and psychologic factors. All failures should be carefully analyzed and evaluated to identify their causes in order to prevent future reoccurrence. Failures should be documented and used to advantage when treatment planning future implant cases. A panoramic radiograph, mounted diagnostic casts, medical and dental histories, and surgical guides are accepted standards of care prior to beginning oral implant procedures. The identification and management of nutritional deficiencies is a useful adjunct to successful implant treatment.

Abstract
Although systemic bone loss accompanying estrogen deficiency has been proposed as a risk factor for periodontal disease in post-menopausal women, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. The objective of this study was to elucidate the potential bone-sparing effect of estrogen (17beta-estradiol, E(2)) via modulation of inflammatory cytokine production in human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells. E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and receptor activator of NF- B ligand (RANKL) by hPDL cells at both mRNA and protein levels. E(2) treatment reversed the stimulatory effects of LPS on pro-inflammatory cytokine expression by hPDL cells. Moreover, E(2) up-regulated osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression and therefore attenuated the reduction of the OPG vs. RANKL ratio. Our results suggested that estrogen may play a significant role in modulating periodontal tissue responses to LPS, and may exert its bone-sparing effects on periodontal tissues via altering the expression of inflammatory cytokines in hPDL cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Because of increasing life expectancy and popularity of dental implants, surgeons face a larger number of osteoporotic patients who require bone augmentation. Relationship between low bone density/osteoporosis and bone graft success is still not clear. The purpose of this article is to review and summarize the literature regarding the success of alveolar bone augmentation in osteoporosis. STUDY DESIGN The study design includes a literature review of relevant preclinical and clinical articles that address the association between osteoporosis and alveolar bone augmentation. RESULTS Increased rate of complications such as resorption of bone graft, non-integration of bone graft, delayed healing time, and implant failure in augmented bone especially in the maxilla may be associated with compromised bone health. CONCLUSIONS Despite the decreased success rate, osteoporosis is not an absolute contraindication for bone augmentation and dental implant placement. The modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis should be eliminated before surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In view of the increase in the life expectancy of humans and in edentulism of the population above 50 years of age, in which the prevalence of osteoporosis is also higher, it is fundamental to better understand the effects of systemic bone mass loss on the healing process of dental implants and to determine the quality of the bone that surrounds them. The objective of the present study was to compare systemic osteoporosis (axial and femoral) and parameters of mandibular bone quality, and to evaluate osseointegration in postmenopausal women receiving dental implants. METHODS The sample consisted of 39 women aged 48-70 years, 19 with a densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck and 20 controls with a normal densitometric diagnosis. Bone mineral density was measured in the patients and controls by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Eighty-two osseointegrated dental implants were placed in the mandible, 39 of them in the osteoporosis group and 43 in the control group. Mandibular bone quality was evaluated by classifying mandibular inferior cortical and trabecular bone on panoramic radiographs and by histomorphometric analysis of a mandibular bone biopsy. Osseointegration was analyzed after 9 months. RESULTS No significant difference was observed between patients with osteoporosis and controls when comparing individuals with a normal cortex and those with a severely or moderately eroded cortex determined on panoramic radiographs, although patients with MEC/SEC had lower femoral neck BMD than those with NC (0.688 +/- 0.17 vs. 0.814+/- 0.144 g/cm2, P<0.012). Histomorphometric analysis also revealed no difference in the parameters of bone formation or resorption between the two groups. Implant failure was observed in only one case. CONCLUSION We conclude that there is an association between low femoral neck BMD and poor mandibular bone quality as assessed by panoramic radiography. The loss of one implant (1.2%) is compatible with the literature and cannot be attributed to systemic osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, one of the major skeletal diseases in older age, is characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration with a resulting increase in bone fragility and hence susceptibility to fracture. In this review we analyse the systemic and local factors associated with oral bone mass loss. Systemic factors most often correlated with the oral bone mass loss include osteoporosis, renal diseases, hormonal disorders, diet and the impact of different drugs on the bony structure. Chronic periodontal disease, early loss of teeth or the effect of inadequate prosthodontic appliance on the residual ridge are the local factors associated with mandibular bone loss. Different assessment tools for the assessment of mandibular oral bone loss have been proposed, such as DXA absorptiometry, quantitative computed tomography, intraoral microdensitometry, SCORE index and the assessment of the thickness and quality of the mandibular inferior cortical border. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of the mandibular bony structure is of great importance in all fields of dentistry - from periodontology to endodontics and prosthodontics, especially in dental implantology. It is important to make the correct indication prior to dental implant therapy, and taking into account the systemic and local factors mentioned above, assess both the actual quality and quantity of the mandible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In view of the increase in the life expectancy of humans and in edentulism of the population above 50 years of age, in which the prevalence of osteoporosis is also higher, it is fundamental to better understand the effects of systemic bone mass loss on the healing process of dental implants and to determine the quality of the bone that surrounds them. The objective of the present study was to compare systemic osteoporosis (axial and femoral) and parameters of mandibular bone quality, and to evaluate osseointegration in postmenopausal women receiving dental implants. METHODS The sample consisted of 39 women aged 48-70 years, 19 with a densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck and 20 controls with a normal densitometric diagnosis. Bone mineral density was measured in the patients and controls by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Eighty-two osseointegrated dental implants were placed in the mandible, 39 of them in the osteoporosis group and 43 in the control group. Mandibular bone quality was evaluated by classifying mandibular inferior cortical and trabecular bone on panoramic radiographs and by histomorphometric analysis of a mandibular bone biopsy. Osseointegration was analyzed after 9 months. RESULTS No significant difference was observed between patients with osteoporosis and controls when comparing individuals with a normal cortex and those with a severely or moderately eroded cortex determined on panoramic radiographs. Histomorphometric analysis also revealed no difference in the parameters of bone formation or resorption between the two groups. Implant failure was observed in only one case. CONCLUSION We conclude that there is no association between systemic osteoporosis (axial and femur) and parameters of poor mandibular bone quality. The loss of one implant (1.2%) is compatible with the literature and cannot be attributed to systemic osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common problem in orthopedic surgery. The purpose of this review of the literature was to examine whether osteoporosis is also an important factor in patient treatment in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery. Emphasis was given to the consequences of osteoporosis for the maxilla and mandible, the influence of osteoporosis on fracture treatment, the use of dental implants, the importance of soft tissues and the effect of osteoporosis therapies. It was found that osteoporosis does affect the bones of the skull. The effect of osteoporosis on treatment, however, is controversial and necessitates better ways of quantifying bone loss. Large inter-individual and site-specific differences in bone density, as well as other effects such as removal of teeth, periodontitis, implant insertion, augmentation procedures and altered loading with dystrophic consequences need to be considered in future studies. Special attention should be given to osteoporosis during fracture treatment.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) are commonly applied to orthopaedic implants for acceleration of osteointegration and so overcoming the loosening problems such as in cortical screws. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of hydroxyapatite was applied for coating of cortical screws in this work. The effects of hydroxyapatite-coated and uncoated cortical screws on insertion and extraction torque were investigated through in vivo experiments. Three groups of screws were undertaken: first group with no coating, second group coated with HA and the third group coated with HA+interlayer, a synthetic calcium silicate compound. Five sheep were operated, and 60 cortical (20 x 3) screws from those of groups were implanted in cortical femurs to observe the effect of HA and interlayer on screws. Results show that as an alternative to plasma spray coating method, the EPD process enables to produce a quick, easy, cheap and uniform adjustable coating layer. Also from biomechanical and SEM examinations, HA coating by EPD method of cortical screws resulted in extremely improved fixation with reduced risk of loosening problem.

Abstract
Overdentures supported by osseointegrated implants overcome many of the complications observed with overdentures supported by natural teeth. Dental implants are free of biologic consequences associated with natural teeth, such as dental caries and periodontal disease. Bone undercuts adjacent to implants do not mimic those found adjacent to natural tooth roots. Implants are used to provide predictable retention, support, and stability for overdenture prostheses. When lip or facial support is required, the overdenture is the treatment of choice. Likewise the overdenture may improve phonetic deficiencies associated with alveolar bone loss.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the hypothesis that osteoporotic-like (OP) conditions have a negative effect on osseointegration (OI) of dental implants. Using an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model, the extent of OI using histologic and histomorphometric analysis (HMA) under a variety of OVX conditions was assessed. Five experimental groups (n = 7 rats per group) were used: 1) OP control, 2) OI control, () OI followed by OVX treatment to induce OP (OI-->OP), 4) OP induction followed by OI (OP-->OI), and 5) OP induction simultaneously with OI (OI = OP). Using undecalcified plastic-embedded cross-sections of the implant site, HMA was performed to determine the percent of bone contact (BC) at the implant-tissue interface and percent of bone area (BA) immediately (1.5-mm diameter) surrounding the implant site. The presence of Bone Sialoprotein (BSP), an important extracellular matrix component of bone, was evaluated using immunohistochemical staining procedures. The implant control resulted in the highest level of OI (BC = 79%; BA = 87%), whereas all groups in which OVX was performed resulted in a significant reduction in BA (70-75%). High levels of BC were observed in established OP conditions (OP-->OI; BC = 79%); however, following OI, induction of OP conditions (OI-->OP) led to a significant reduction in BC (50%). In each of the OP treatment groups, a diminution of cortical bone, increased trabecularization of the host bone site, and loss of staining of BSP was observed. The results of this work indicate that although OI is possible under a variety of OP-like conditions simulating implant placement, the long-term biomechanical stability of implants under these conditions could be compromised and remains unclear. Further research to understand implant use in the complex bone environment under OP-like conditions is encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study provides a longitudinal assessment of changes in alveolar and skeletal bone mineral density (BMD) in ovariectomized animals. METHODS Following ovariectomy (OVX) (n = 6) or sham-operation (n = 6) intraoral radiographs were made at 4-month intervals and serum 17-beta-estradiol, osteocalcin, and interleukin (IL)-6, urinary deoxypyridinium, and salivary IL-6, deoxypyridinium, and osteocalcin concentrations were evaluated. Twelve months after surgery, animals were sacrificed and the mandible and radius/ulna removed. Bones were sectioned and radiographed. Mean BMD and cortical thicknesses were calculated from each region. RESULTS OVX animals had a progressive decrease in serum 17-beta-estradiol, increased serum osteocalcin and IL-6, urinary deoxypyridinium and salivary IL-6, osteocalcin and deoxypyridinium (P < 0.001), suggesting that they were becoming osteoporotic. The BMD of the radius/ulna and mandibular alveolar bone was significantly reduced in OVX animals (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). Reduced alveolar bone BMD became evident in OVX animals 6 months after surgery and became more severe during the subsequent 6 months. Alveolar crestal height was also significantly reduced in OVX animals (P < 0.001). These biochemical and density changes preceded a significant reduction in serum 17-beta-estradiol, which occurred between 4 and 8 months following surgery. CONCLUSIONS Serial measurements of alveolar BMD predicts loss of skeletal BMD in OVX sheep. Changes in alveolar BMD precede estrogen deficiency, suggesting that early signs of reduced BMD may be detected in peri-menopausal women. The presence of biomarkers of bone metabolism within saliva and their correlation with reduced BMD suggests that saliva could be used as an adjunct screening method for assessment of skeletal bone density.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the osteointegration of HA-coated and uncoated titanium screws in the cortical bone of long-term (24 months) ovariectomized sheep (OVX group) compared to sham-aged sheep (Control group). At 12 weeks after implantation, the screws were tested biomechanically (extraction torque) and histomorphometrically (affinity index: AI) in both femoral and tibial diaphyses. Cancellous bone status was assessed by iliac crest biopsy. BMD of the L5 vertebra and a histomorphological study of the femoral and tibial shafts were performed to acquire data on cortical bone. A significant difference was found between the OVX and Control groups for BMD (p<0.0005), and a significant reduction in the cancellous bone area was observed in the OVX group. Femoral and tibial cortical bone parameters showed significant differences between the groups. The type of material selected (femurs: p<0.0005; tibiae: p<0.0005) and ovariectomy (femurs: p<0.005; tibiae: p<0.005) had a significant effect on the extraction torque. AI results were related to the presence or absence of ovariectomy (p<0.05) and strictly depended on the material implanted in the femur and tibia (p<0.0005). In conclusion, at implantation OVX sheep showed a significant loss of trabecular and cortical bone versus sham-aged sheep. The biomechanical and histomorphological results achieved suggest employing HA-coated screws in the presence of osteopenic cortical bone.

Abstract
ZrO2 and Al2O3 substrates were successfully coated by a double layer of a silica-based glass named RKKP, using a low-cost firing technique. RKKP is a glass well known for its bioactivity; therefore, a RKKP coating on Al2O3 or ZrO2, allows to combine the excellent mechanical properties of these strong ceramic substrates with its bioactivity. ZrO2 samples were easily coated using a double layer of RKKP by a simple enamelling technique. To accommodate the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between Al2O3 and RK K P, this substrate was coated using a multilayered composite approach. All of the coatings were characterised from a morphological and compositional point of view, and an extensive biological evaluation was performed using fresh rat osteoblasts. Osteoblast primary cultures were derived from the trabecular bone of femoral condyles harvested from intact (NB) and osteopenic (OB) rats. After characterisation of their phenotype, osteoblasts were seeded on material samples of ZrO2 or Al2O3 coated with RKKP, and cultured for 7 days. Cell proliferation (MTT test) and cell differentiation (alkaline phosphatase activity) were evaluated at the end of the experiment, to assess osteoblast behaviour in the presence of biomaterials and determine if the results were related to the host bone quality. Results of both materials showed a good level of biocompatibility. In particular, MTT significant higher values were detected in NB cultures on ZrO2-RKKP samples; ALP activity significantly increased in NB cultures on Al2O3-RKKP and in OB cultures on both coated samples.

Abstract
Older adults present special problems for the dentist trying to establish or reestablish esthetics. Periodontal diseases are of concern for this population since tooth loss from these widespread problems increases with age. In general, this loss occurs because of increased exposure time to pathogenic bacteria, not some change inherent in the body brought on by the aging process. The profession has begun to place more emphasis on systemic risk factors and their role in modifying periodontal inflammation. The current thinking is that bacteria are necessary to initiate and sustain periodontal diseases, but the clinical manifestation is dictated to a significant extent by systemic factors. Smoking, diabetes, and being positive for the interleukin-1 genotype predispose the patient to developing more severe disease. For those older adults who lose teeth, dental implants have emerged as reliable replacements, and concerns about placing these devices in patients who have lost teeth as a result of periodontitis appear to be largely unfounded.

Abstract
The effects of estrogen deficiency on the mandible have been indicated; however, there have been only a few reports on the mandibular condyle. To clarify the region-specific changes of condyles following estrogen deficiency, we histomorphometrically studied the anterior and posterior regions of condyles in sham-operated (Sham) and ovariectomized (Ovx) female Fischer rats, since it has been reported that rat occlusal force loads mainly onto the anterior part of the condyle. The anterior and posterior regions of condyles showed significantly different bone dynamics. The bone volume in the anterior region of the Sham group increased to 79.9% with aging, but that of the posterior region remained at ca. 60%. In the Ovx group, the bone volume of the posterior region significantly declined to 42.7% until 60 days post-ovariectomy, although no changes occurred in the anterior region. As compared with the Sham counterparts, both regions of the Ovx group showed high bone turnover and revealed significantly low bone volume at 60 days (p < 0.01). Regional differences between anterior and posterior regions were more emphasized in the Ovx than in the Sham group. The osteoclast number and amount of eroded surface in the Ovx were higher in the posterior than in the anterior region, with significance at 30 and/or 60 days (p < 0.05). The mineralized surface at 14 days and the bone formation rate at 60 days in the Ovx posterior region were significantly lower than those in the Ovx anterior region (p < 0.05). Consequently, a net bone loss occurred in the posterior region of the mandibular condyle in ovariectomized rats, owing to region specificity and estrogen deficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the current study was to evaluate the long-term results of endosseous implants placed into autogenous bone grafts in severely atrophic alveolar ridges. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 871 implants were placed in 137 patients. The success rate was determined using survival analysis, log rank tests, and a cox regression analysis. RESULTS Seventy-four implant failures were encountered in 23 patients. Most implants were lost because of a lack of osseointegration at the time of abutment connection or by asymptomatic loosening during the first months thereafter. The overall 1-year cumulative survival rate (CSR) was 83.4%, with a decrease to 67.8% after 5 years. The only parameter of prognostic relevance in the multivariate analysis of the whole study population was the patients' gender, with a significantly worse prognosis in female patients (5-year CSR, 62.3%). However, when the patients were divided into edentulous and partially edentulous jaws, a change was observed in the overall significance of the parameters introduced into the analysis. In edentulous patients, the maxilla appeared to over-rule all other parameters, with a 5-year cumulative survival rate of 48.8%, whereas the mandible presented a significantly higher rate of implant survival (5-year CSR, 89.3%). CONCLUSION This study shows a poorer success rate in females than in males, probably because of differences in the quality of the bone grafts.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to establish an experimental animal model with bone of low mineral density, and to then investigate the reaction of the bone-implant interface in these experimental animals. MATERIALS AND METHODS To prepare the experimental model, rabbits were ovariectomized and fed a 0.15% low-calcium diet. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the tibia was periodically measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Approximately 1 month after the introduction of the low-calcium diet, when BMD had decreased to about 12% less than that of control rabbits, a titanium implant (TI) was inserted into the tibia of each rabbit. At 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the insertion of the TI, the rabbits were killed, and the reaction of the bone tissue surrounding the TI was examined both histologically and radiographically. RESULTS The combined ovariectomy and low-calcium diet produced rabbits having bone with low mineral density, and the histologic features of the tibia in these rabbits were consistent with those in human osteoporotic bone. In control rabbits, new bone formation surrounding the TI was evident 2 weeks after its insertion, and the TI surface was almost completely covered with new bone after 8 weeks. In contrast, new bone formation in the experimental rabbits was delayed, but considerable direct bone contact with the TI was observed after 12 weeks. CONCLUSION These results suggest that osteoporotic bone may affect the healing period of bone tissue after the insertion of dental implants, but that osseointegration of dental implants may be obtained even in osteoporotic bone.
