Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the effects of age and gender on ISQ scales on 75 implant patients who received the UV photo functionalized implants, which were placed into piezosurgery-prepared site.

Highlights

  • In our previous paper [1], synergistic effects of UV photofunctionalization on titanium implant surface and the piezosurgery-prepared site for implant placement were evaluated in terms of ISQ scales as a measure of placed implants’ stability

  • From analyses on 35 clinic cases, it was found that UV surface alteration and enough blood supply by piezosurgery preparation exhibited synergistic effects on improvement of ISQ scales, making the assured loading timing, and even lowers the ISQ scale during the bone healing stage; they are still acceptable level for pursuing early loading

  • SA indicates that the implant surface was SAed, while SLA means that the surface of implants was subjected to sand blasted with large alumina grits, followed by acid etching

Summary

Introduction

In our previous paper [1], synergistic effects of UV photofunctionalization on titanium implant surface and the piezosurgery-prepared site for implant placement were evaluated in terms of ISQ scales as a measure of placed implants’ stability. From analyses on 35 clinic cases, it was found that UV surface alteration and enough blood supply by piezosurgery preparation exhibited synergistic effects on improvement of ISQ scales, making the assured loading timing, and even lowers the ISQ scale during the bone healing stage; they are still acceptable level for pursuing early loading. Man and woman possess a similar level of protein matrix per unit of segment volume, woman exhibits significantly less bone mineral to their skeletons [3], due to lower calcium content per skeleton and possible post-menopausal changes when they enter this age zone.
