Stress shielding at the bone‐implant interface: influence of surface roughness and of the bone‐implant contact ratio

When REF and TEST implants were compared by Micro-CT analysis, no statistical difference was found in BIC and BV/TV (Table 3). There was no evidence of variation in BV/TV ratio

The limitations of this study include a low number of specimens (n = 4 per group). However, this still represents the largest and most refined SAXS study investigating

The quality of the bone-implant interface (BII), resulting from the properties of newly formed bone, determines the implant stability. This study investigates the BII

Figure  3 shows the variation of the effective contact stiffness K c obtained with the finite element model (gray solid line), the Kachanov’s model (black solid line), the

The results obtained for the mean values and standard devia- tions of the measured indentation modulus and hardness for (i) newly formed bone tissue with the three different

The results are shown under vertical loading (a), torsional loading (b) and horizontal loading along the x-axis (c). Figures 6 a) and 6 b) show that even if the applied

Another difficulty arises from the fact that the implant success depends on multifactorial aspects related to the patients (e.g.: behaviour, bone quality…), to
