Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
Bone Remodeling and Repair01:31

Bone Remodeling and Repair

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...
Bone Structure01:55

Bone Structure

Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.
Classification of Bones01:18

Classification of Bones

The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The long...
Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...
Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Periodontology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Bone platform switching, characterized by an inward bone ring at the implant's coronal portion, is achieved using reverse conical neck dental fixtures.
  • This technique aims to manage the crestal bone level around dental implants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness of conventional versus reverse conical neck implants.
  • To assess the impact of bone platform switching on alveolar crest resorption.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study involving 86 patients and 234 dental implants (40 conventional, 194 reverse conical neck) inserted between May 2004 and November 2007.
  • Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were employed to identify variables influencing clinical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences in survival and success rates were observed between conventional and reverse conical neck implants.
  • Alveolar crest resorption showed no statistical difference when comparing bone platform switching with reverse conical neck implants.

Conclusions:

  • While bone platform switching offers theoretical advantages, this study did not detect a statistical benefit in preventing alveolar crest resorption compared to reverse conical neck implants.
  • Further research with larger patient cohorts and combined platform switching techniques may be necessary to elucidate potential clinical benefits.
