Osteogenesis Differences Around Titanium Implant and in Bone Defect Between Jaw Bones and Long Bones.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the osteogenesis around titanium implant and in bone defect or fracture in jaw bones and long bones in ovariectomized (OVX) animal models. The literature on the osteogenesis around titanium implant and in bone defect or fracture in jaw bones and long bones was reviewed with charts. Fourty-eight rats were randomly divided into OVX group with ovariectomy and SHAM (sham-surgery) group with sham surgery. Titanium implants were inserted in the right mandibles and tibiae; bone defects were created in the left mandibles and tibiae. Two-week postoperatively, mandibles and tibiae of 8 rats were harvested and examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and histological analysis; 4-week postoperatively, all mandibles and tibiae were harvested and examined by Micro-CT and histological analysis. A total of 52 articles were included in this literature review. Tibial osteogenesis around titanium implant and in bone defect in OVX group were significantly decreased compared with SHAM group. However, osteogenesis differences in the mandible both around titanium implant and in bone defect between groups were not statistically significant. OVX-induced osteoporosis suppresses osteogenesis around titanium implant and in the bone defect or fracture in long bones significantly while has less effect on that in the jaw bones.
