Avaliação da estabilidade primária de implantes instalados em regiões previamente enxertadas com osso bovino anorgânico nos períodos de incorporação e maturação óssea: análise clínica, histopatológica e histoquímica

Abstract

This study evaluated the primary stability of implants installed in areas of heterogenous bovine grafting used in lifting the maxillary sinus floor two and six months after grafting, in order to verify the possibility of implant installation during the primary bone repair stage. This study consisted of seven patients. The same patient was part of both analysis groups, where the right or left sides (TG = test group, two-month graft evaluation) and left or right sides (CG = control group, six-month graft evaluation) were considered. The work was described in the following articles: ARTICLE I: clinical and histopathological analysis was performed in periods of bone incorporation (two months) and bone maturation (six months).The histopathological analysis showed new bone formation with osteoblasts, osteocytes and neovascularization in both groups. The statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p = 0.007) between the amount of newly formed bone in the TG and CG. Clinically, there was no impairment in the primary stability of implants installed in the TG (two months). We concluded that there was a statistical difference in the rate of newly formed bone in the periods of two and six months, but there was no impairment in the primary stability of the implants installed in the TG. ARTICLE II: clinical and histochemical analysis were performed in periods of bone incorporation (two months) and bone maturation (six months). The presence of collagen type I (mature) and type III (immature) in both groups was observed through picrosirius red staining, but the statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between type I (p = 0.002) and type III (p = 0.014) in TG and CG. Clinically, there was no impairment in the primary stability of the implants installed in the TG. We conclude that, although the newly formed bone showed to be more mature at six months, there was no impairment in the primary stability of the implants installed in the TG.
