Bone remodeling analysis of various dental implant surfaces using polyfluorochrome sequential labeling in rabbit tibias.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the bone remodeling process after the placement of threaded implants with rough (RBM) and hydroxyapatite coated surfaces (HA) in rabbit tibias using polyfluorochrome sequential labeling. Histomorphometry was performed in order to quantify the amount of each label deposited during the healing period. This work demonstrates the possibility of periodic identification of apatite deposition during bone remodeling around titanium and ceramic implants. It has been concluded that the polyfluorochrome sequential labeling is an important tool for identification of bone remodeling after the insertion of titanium and ceramic implants inside rabbit tibias.
