Abstract
To study the effect of to low-intensity low frequency pulsed ultrasound (LILFPUS) on the surface wettability of titanium dental implants, an experimental medical-technical model was developed, consisting of an ultrasonic device, a fixed-mounted digital photo/video camera and a laboratory stand with a smooth vertical feed, in which an ultrasound nozzle with an experimental dental implant and fastener with a control implant were fixed. As a wetting agent, 0.9 % sterile physiological sodium chloride solution was used in a petri dish tinted with brilliant green. Using the components of the model, it was possible to immerse the control and experimental dental implants, fixed on a laboratory stand, equally and uniformly at the same depth. The results of the studies showed that under the influence of ultrasound, the wetting of the surface of all the test samples was 100 %, and the wetting of the control samples was not observed.
Highlights
An important direction in the treatment of patients with partial secondary adentia by dental implantation is to reduce the time from the installation of dental implants to their functional loading
Among the many therapeutic measures used in the treatment of partial secondary adentia, the use of physical factors is of great importance
The animals were divided into three groups: the first group consisted of 27 rabbits with the traditional implantation method, the second group consisted of 25 rabbits with dental implants exposed to low-intensity low frequency pulsed ultrasound (LILFPUS) during implant insertion and the third group consisted of 25 rabbits with LILFPUS exposure of dental implants on insertion and subsequent LILFPUS exposure on the perimplant area (Fig. 1)
Summary
An important direction in the treatment of patients with partial secondary adentia by dental implantation is to reduce the time from the installation of dental implants to their functional loading. One way to reduce the time of prosthetics for patients with partial secondary adentia is to optimize the processes of osseointegration of dental implants by changing the surface properties of implants and affecting the processes around them, starting from early postoperative periods. Among the many therapeutic measures used in the treatment of partial secondary adentia, the use of physical factors is of great importance. They are widely used at various stages of therapy, prevention and rehabilitation of dental diseases. The desire to achieve full osseointegration and reduce the complications rate after dental implantation encourages researchers to search for new, more effective therapies and their combinations [8-20]
