    Notes: Examination of the morphology of osteocytes within the bone supporting endosteal dental implants was performed using conventional transmission and high-voltage transmission electron microscopy (HVEM). The in vivo dog model used 72 implants inserted into the premolar region of 18 experimental animals. Forty-eight implants in 12 dogs were used as anterior abutments for fixed bridges for periods up to 12 months. The mineralized matrix of the supporting bone was either directly apposed to the implant surface or was separated from the implant by a narrow region of unmineralized matrix. Osteocytes were routinely observed to be closely associated with the bone-implant interface, as well as at a distance from the implant. Osteocytes were found to extend cellular processes directly to the implant surface through canaliculi. The osteocyte processes contained microfilaments. The three-dimensional capabilities of HVEM elucidated the nature of these cell processes at the point of exit from the osteocyte, as the processes extended through the mineralized matrix, and as the processes terminated at the implant interface. This report suggests that avenues of communication may exist between the implant and the osseous cells, providing intriguing hypotheses regarding biomechanical forces and osteogenesis at the implant interface. Furthermore, an electron-dense deposit was observed upon the inner confines of the canalicular wall, upon the outer aspects of the osteocyte lacuna, and upon the outer aspect of the bone interfacing the implant. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The interface between mandibular bone and endosteal dental implants was examined with an in vivo dog model. Undecalcified mandibular implant samples were observed with both conventional transmission electron microscopy and highvoltage transmission electron microscopy (HVEM). Results demonstrated the variable nature of the interfacial support tissues. Mineralized bone was often found within 50 nm of the implant surface, separated from that surface only by an electron dense deposit. Osteocytes were observed close to the interface encased within lacunae extending numerous cellular processes through canaliculi. An osteoblast was also observed directly at the interface within a developing lacuna. Other interfacial areas exhibited a finely fibrillar and more electron lucent morphology. Furthermore, other areas were shown to be composed of wider zones of extracellular products containing collagen fibrils, ground substance, and calcified inclusions. Because bone is a n actively growing and remodeling tissue, these different morphological zones around the entire area of the implants would appear to confirm the dynamic tissue response to endosteal dental implants. Further, HVEM stereology was shown to be an exciting research tool to investigate this tissue response.

    Notes: The osteogenesis of mandibular bone to endosteal dental implants was examined using an in vivo dog model. One half of the implants examined were unloaded implants, with the remaining one half prosthodontically loaded for 6 months. Undecalcified mandibular implant samples were examined with both high-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) stereology and routine transmission electron microscopy. The osseous interface to integrated implants was shown to vary in its morphology. Mineralized bone was observed directly apposing the implant, often separated from the implant by an electron-dense deposit of approximately 50 nm. Within this densely mineralized matrix, osteocytes were routinely observed. Adjacent areas were shown to contain slightly wider zones of either a less dense mineralized matrix or, alternatively, unmineralized tissue. Other zones consisted of wider unmineralized matrices containing collagen fibers and osteoblasts. These latter zones were consistent with the appearance of an appositional type of bone growth. Because bone is a dynamic, actively remodeling tissue, a varied morphology of the support tissues to dental implant is not unexpected. Areas of mature bone interfacing with successfully integrated implants were demonstrated, as well as areas adjacent to the mature bone that were undergoing remodeling or mineralization. This study has also shown that HVEM stereology is a valuable research tool to investigate the oral tissue interface with dental implants. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This report presents transmission electron and high voltage transmission electron microscopic observations of bone and associated remodeling tissues directly interfacing with endosteal dental implants. Undecalcified interfacial tissues were serially sectioned from mandibular samples encasing 60 implants placed into 30 dogs. Two-dimensional ultrastructural analyses and three-dimensional stereology showed that osteogenesis adjacent to dental implants is a dynamic interaction of osseous cells and a collagenous fiber matrix. This study showed that the interfacial bone consists of a mineralized collagen fiber matrix associated with an inorganic (hydroxylapatite) matrix. This study suggested that an unmineralized collagen fiber matrix initially is laid down directly at the implant surface, and that this matrix then is mineralized. Osteoblasts interacted with this matrix, eventually becoming encased within developing lacunae during the remodeling process. This process formed the cellular (osteocyte) aspects of the developed bone. Osteocyte processes extended through canaliculi directly to the implant surface. Apparently, these processes also were entrapped within canaliculi during the mineralization events. At times, these processes paralleled the implant surface. The bone-implant interfacial zone was primarily fibrillar (both mineralized and unmineralized) in morphology, with an electron-dense, ruthenium positive deposition. This electron-dense material was approximately 20 to 50 nanometers in thickness, and only this thin layer separated the remodeled mineralized bone from the implant. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
