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.
Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

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...

Summary

Dental implant removal lacks clear guidelines. This study found significant variation in peri-implant bone loss at explantation, indicating no universal threshold for implant removal.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Implantology
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Clear guidelines for dental implant removal are currently lacking.
  • Peri-implantitis is a common complication leading to implant failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the amount of peri-implant bone loss at the time of explantation by specialists.
  • To identify factors influencing peri-implant bone loss and implant survival time.

Main Methods:

  • 192 explants from 161 patients were collected from dental offices.
  • Clinical information, patient demographics, and implant details were gathered via questionnaires.
  • Bone loss was assessed using radiographs, and statistical models were used to analyze bone loss and survival time.

Main Results:

  • Excluding early failures, average bone loss at explantation was 66.2%.
  • Implants in the mandible showed significantly more bone loss (73.7%) than those in the maxilla (57.7%).
  • Younger age at implantation was associated with longer implant survival time.

Conclusions:

  • The significant variation in bone loss at explantation suggests a lack of universally accepted criteria for implant removal.
  • Factors such as implant location (mandible) and shorter implant length were associated with increased bone loss.
  • Age at implantation is a significant factor influencing implant survival time.
