Abstract
Background
An optimal shape of the thread design of the implants is required for equal distribution of stresses to the surrounding bone matrix and for stimulation and promotion of bone remodeling.
Purpose
The study was construed with the aim of histomorphometric evaluation of bone stimulation generated by different microthread designed implants in enhancing osseointegration, and to assess the pattern of stress dissipation through a two-dimensional finite element analysis.
Material and Methods
Computer Aided Designing of two type of microthreads, one V-shaped and the other Power-shaped microthreaded dental implants with only microthreads all along body of the implant from the neck to the apex was made and 30 implant prototypes were milled. Two-dimensional finite elemental analysis (FEA) was carried out to assess the pattern of stress distribution in the bone around these implant designs and for In vivo study 24 implant prototypes were placed in rabbits tibia and femur, out of which 12 were with V-shaped microthreads and the other 12 were with Power-shaped microthreads. Histomorphometric analysis was carried out of the sections obtained from the enbloc specimen retrieved from the sacrificed rabbits.
Results
FEA showed less stress around the V-shaped microthreaded implant model when compared to Power-shaped microthreaded implant model. Hitomorphometry showed statistical significance difference in new bone volume (BV) and Total BV for V-shaped microthreaded prototype implant.
Conclusions
V-shaped microthreaded dental implant design can be preferred over Power-shaped microthreaded dental implant for proper stress distribution and for promoting osseointegration.
