    Summary

    Replamineform hydroxyapatite implants showed firm attachment to alveolar bone in dogs, with successful healing of surrounding soft tissues. These findings support future human clinical trials for dental prostheses.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Oral Surgery
    • Tissue Engineering

    Background:

    • Subperiosteal implantation of biomaterials is crucial for dental reconstruction.
    • Assessing implant stability and soft tissue response is vital for prosthetic success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term stability and osseointegration of replamineform hydroxyapatite implants.
    • To assess the healing and inflammatory response of various soft-tissue procedures around implants.

    Main Methods:

    • Subperiosteal implantation of 16 hydroxyapatite implants in canine residual ridges.
    • Performance of soft-tissue procedures (vestibuloplasty, exposure) at varying intervals.
    • Histological and clinical evaluation of implant-tissue integration and healing.

    Main Results:

    • All 16 implants remained firmly attached to alveolar bone at 27 months.
    • Successful normal healing observed in 12 of 13 surgical sites, including vestibuloplasties and exposure sites.
    • Formation of normal stratified squamous epithelium and absence of inflammatory reactions in healed specimens.

    Conclusions:

    • Replamineform hydroxyapatite implants demonstrate excellent long-term stability and osseointegration.
    • Associated soft-tissue procedures exhibit favorable healing responses without inflammation.
    • Results provide a strong basis for human clinical trials evaluating implant-supported dental prostheses.
