Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to determine clinically and genetically the allergic effects of titanium and poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) implants following loading in rabbit tibias.
Materials and methods
This study included 18 white New Zealand male rabbits (n = 18) divided evenly into three groups: control, titanium (Ti), and PEEK (P). Clinically, the allergenic effect of titanium and PEEK was investigated by detecting the effect on lymph nodes. Furthermore, RT-PCR and ELISA were used to detect the expression of certain genes IL-6, TNF-α, OPG, RANKL, and RUNX-2 through both types of implants.
Results
Our findings demonstrated that titanium implants induced enlarged lymph nodes, which PEEK did not. Overall, RT-PCR and ELISA techniques revealed that Ti implants had higher expression of the inflammatory genes IL-6 and TNF-α. Ti had the highest expression in OPG findings, while PEEK had the lowest. RANKL expression was highest in the control group and lowest in the PEEK group. RUNX-2 is the highest for the control group and the lowest for the titanium group.
Conclusion
Although titanium implants elicited greater allergy responses than PEEK implants, titanium has the highest expression of bone formation genes and the lowest expression of bone resorption genes, making it preferable to PEEK.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research is to advance the scientific and technical aspects relating to dental implants and related scientific subjects. Dissemination of new and evolving information related to dental implants and the related science is the primary goal of our journal.
The range of topics covered by the journals will include but be not limited to:
New scientific developments relating to bone
Implant surfaces and their relationship to the surrounding tissues
Computer aided implant designs
Computer aided prosthetic designs
Immediate implant loading
Immediate implant placement
Materials relating to bone induction and conduction
New surgical methods relating to implant placement
New materials and methods relating to implant restorations
Methods for determining implant stability
A primary focus of the journal is publication of evidenced based articles evaluating to new dental implants, techniques and multicenter studies evaluating these treatments. In addition basic science research relating to wound healing and osseointegration will be an important focus for the journal.
