The influence of functional use of endosseous dental implants on the tissue-implant interface. I. Histological aspects

J B Brunski et al. J Dent Res. 1979 Oct.

Abstract

The tissue-implant interfaces of functional and non-functional endosseous dental implants were compared histologically for up to one year post-operatively. Nonmineralized connective tissue zones (a "fibrous capsule") existed in all functional interfaces. Direct, or nearly direct, bone apposition to implants occurred in non-functional interfaces. The origin of this result and its significance in dental implantology is discussed.
