Exam 1 Flashcards
Osseointegration definition
A direct functional and structural connection between living bone and the surface of a load carrying implant
Bone lost every time a flap is raised
about 0.7mm
Implant healing stages
2 hours after placement the wound chamber area (the deepest areas of the threads) fills with blood clot
At 4 days the wound chamber area is filling with fibroblasts
At 1 week woven bone osteoids are starting to form in the wound area.
At 2 weeks bone formation is developing
At 4 weeks the boney structures are starting to connect through to the base bone
at 12 weeks the wound chamber area is mostly remodeled
Contact osteogenesis
bone formation originating against the implant
Distant osteogenesis
Bone formation from the existing bone towards the implant
What healing stage are implants at their weakest point
4 weeks. Do not do anything to the implant at 4 weeks. Weaker than initial placement.
Biocompatibility
The ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application
Characteristics of mild implant failure
PD <4mm
Bleeding and purulent on gentle probing
Bone loss <25%
Characteristics of moderate implant failure
PD <6mm
Bleeding and purulent on gentle probing
bone loss 25-50%
Characteristics of Severe implant failure
PD >6mm
Bleeding and purulent on gentle probing
Bone loss >50%
Low surface energy
Tefflon - no water sticks to it. No cellular attachment will occur
High surface energy
Very hydrophylic. Will allow surface attachment of cells to this surface.
SLActive treatment
plasma treatment used to create superclean circuits. increases surface energy
Straumann loading time
SLActive claims to be able to load at 6 weeks rather than 8 weeks. Likely immediate loading is more successful as well
Downsides of rough implant surfaces
Bacteria can get in if recession occurs
rough edges break microscopically when implant is inserted. Tapping more important
type of attachment to implants
Hemidesmosomal
Common type of attachment around implants
long epithelial attachment as opposed to short epithelial attachment with inserted fibers into the tooth
Strength of epithelial attahcment around an implant
Much weaker, need to be much more careful probing around implants
Surface type epithelial cells like
Polished surface, horizontal grooves should be less than 10 microns in depth. laser Lock is deeper than this
Fibroblast movement
Move by themselves by grabbing a surface. Much better on a rough surface.
macrophages that cause healing around an implant
M2 - similar to the process of athersclerosos
M1 cause failure
Nobel implant surface
TiUnite
increases titanium oxide thickness
anodized surface
AstraTech surface
Fluoride modified surface
Stimumate osteoblast differentiation
improves osseointegration and decreases marginal bone loss in immediate loading protocols
Straumann implant surface
Acid etched
macrocraters overlayed with micropits
