Bone Under Pressure: Investigating Micromovement Induced by Dental Implant Loading

DOI

Approximately 12 million dental implants are placed globally each year, with almost 50% experiencing complications related to bone loss. Progressive bone loss can lead to implant failure and its associated consequences. While it has historically been associated with the bacterial biofilm on the implant, emerging evidence from previous in vitro experiments conducted by our group at the ESRF suggest that biomechanical factors, such as particle abrasion from the implant and/or the elastic and plastic deformation of the implant upon loading, might also influence the biological changes of the adjacent tissue. To the best of our knowledge, the phenomenon of micromovement of dental implants within human bone remains unexplored. Consequently, this proof-of-concept study aims to investigate the mechanisms induced in the surrounding bone of osseointegrated implants subjected to varying loads using synchrotron-based tomography.
