Abstract

Three beagle dogs aged over one and half years were used in this study. All mandibular premolars were carefully extracted. Two AVANA implants(Sumin, Korea) and two 3i implants(Implant Innovation, USA) were installed at each right and left side respectively. Each dog was sacrificed at 4, 8. 12 weeks.
Non-decalcified specimens were made and stained for a light microscopic study.
The results were as follows;

  1. Inflammation was not observed in the area of bone tissue adjacent to the implant body.

  2. With time, quantity of osseointegration increased in each type of dental implant. There was no difference between AVANA implant and 3i implant.

  3. Maturation of the bone around each type of the dental implant increased with time. 12 weeks after implant installation, the bone around dental implant represented compact bone-like appreance.

  4. In case implants were located adjacent to a root, newly-formed periodontal ligament tissue was observed around the implant. And the direction of the periodontal ligament fiber was parallel to the surface of the implant.

Within the results of this study, AVANA implants represented similar osseointegration in comparision with 3i implants.
