[HA-coated titanium implants used as orthodontic anchorage. An experimental investigation of implant stability and peri-implant neck tissue in dogs].
This study was aimed at the feasibility of using HA-coated titanium endosseous implants as orthodontic anchorage. These implants installed in dog's mandibles were loaded with the orthodontic force of 150 g for 3 months. The stability of the implant and the peri-implant neck tissue were investigated with radiograph and index evaluation. The findings demonstrated that no implant was mobile or loose or dislocated. The soft tissue around the cervical part of the implants had a slight inflammation because of bad oral hygiene and the stimulation of residual food attached to the stainless string. However, no resorption of marginal alveolor bone was found under sustained orthodontic force. The above results suggest that the HA-coated titianium implant can be used as anchorage for short-term orthodontic treatment.
