title: Histomorphometric evaluation of new bone formation in diabetic rats submitted to insertion of temporary implants.
abstract: This study aimed to quantify new bone formation in the femurs of diabetic Wistar rats. Over an eight-week period, MTI-MP implants were evaluated in control rats and in diabetic rats. At several points during this period, various markers for bone deposit were introduced. The material was observed under fluorescent light microscopy. New bone formation in periosteal and cortical regions linked to the implant did not vary significantly between the groups. However, there were significant differences in total new bone formation in the medullar canal and in bone/implant contact area in the medullar portion. Bone deposits attached to the surface of the temporary implants demonstrated that they are biocompatible and capable of osseointegration.
