Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to examine tissue integration of implants placed (i)
in subjects who had lost teeth because of advanced periodontal disease or for other reasons, (ii) in
the posterior maxilla exhibiting varying amounts of mineralized bone.
Material and methods: Thirty-six subjects were enrolled; 19 had lost teeth because of advanced
periodontitis (group P) while the remaining 17 subjects had suffered tooth loss from other reasons
(group NP). As part of site preparation for implant placement, a 3 mm trephine drill was used to
remove one or more 2 mm wide and 56 mm long block of hard tissue [biopsy site; Lindhe et al.
(2011). Clinical of Oral Implants Research, DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0501.2011.02205.x]. Lateral to the
biopsy site a twist drill (diameter 2 mm) was used to prepare the hard tissue in the posterior
maxilla for the placement of a screw-shaped, self-tapping micro-implant (implant site). The
implants used were 5 mm long, had a diameter of 2.2 mm. After 3 months of healing, the micro-
implants with surrounding hard tissue cores were retrieved using a trephine drill. The tissue was
processed for ground sectioning. The blocks were cut parallel to the long axis of the implant and
reduced to a thickness of about 20 lm and stained in toluidine blue. The percentage of (i) implant
surface that was in contact with mineralized bone as well as (ii) the amount of bone present
within the threads of the micro-implants (percentage bone area) was determined.
Results: Healing including hard tissue formation around implants placed in the posterior maxilla
was similar in periodontitis susceptible and non-susceptible subjects. Thus, the degree of bone-to-
implant contact (about 59%) as well as the amount of mineralized bone within threads of the
micro-implant (about 4550%) was similar in the two groups of subjects. Pearsons coefficient
disclosed that there was a weak negative correlation (0.49; P < 0.05) between volume of fibroustissue (biopsy sites) and the length of bone to implant contact (BIC) while there was a weak
positive correlation (0.51; P < 0.05) between the volume of bone marrow and BIC.
Osseointegrated titanium implants are fre-
quently used as abutments for various fixed
or removable reconstructions in prosthetic
dentistry. Although this kind of treatment is
remarkably successful, both early and late
failures occur (for review see Tomasi et al.
2008). An early failure indicates, according to
Friberg et al. (1991) that e.g. (i) surgical errors
and complications were encountered during
the placement of the implants, (ii) bone
defects with buccal or lingual concavities
were present at the recipient site or (iii) that
healing of the ridge after tooth extraction had
occurred with fibrous rather than bone tissue
formation.
Less than 3% of all implants (for review
see Berglundh et al. 2002; Tomasi et al. 2008)
fail to integrate with the host bone during
healing following surgical placement. In a
study comprising 4641 implants, it was
observed [Friberg et al. (1991)] that jaws with
advanced resorption (groups D and E; Lek-
holm & Zarb 1985) and with soft bone (group
4; Lekholm & Zarb 1985) of the maxillae pre-
sented the highest rates of early implant fail-
ures.
The composition of the bone tissue of the
edentulous ridge of the posterior maxilla of
human volunteers was recently described
(Lindhe et al. 2011). The harvested tissue
exhibited pronounced inter- as well as intra-
individual variation but was comprised of a
mixture of lamellar bone (47%) and woven
bone (8%), osteoid (4%), bone marrow (16%)

and fibrous tissue (13%). There was no appar-
ent difference between the tissue harvested
from periodontitis and non-periodontitis sub-
jects.
The aim of the present study was to exam-
ine tissue integration of implants placed (i) in
subjects who had lost teeth because of
advanced periodontal disease or for other rea-
sons, (ii) in the posterior maxilla exhibiting
varying amounts of mineralized bone.
Material and methods
The regional ethics committee at the Univer-
sity Hospital, Padova, Italy, approved the
study. Forty-nine partially dentate subjects
with fully healed edentulous portions (Ham-
merle et al. 2004) in the posterior maxilla
(position 1417 and 2427) and scheduled for
implant-supported restorations were recruited
in three different centers. The removal of the
tooth/teeth in the region had occurred at
least 46 months prior to the initiation of
the present study.
The subject sample was described in a pre-
vious publication as well as inclusion and
exclusion criteria (Lindhe et al. 2011). Thir-
teen of the originally recruited subjects were
for different reasons not enrolled in the
study. Of the 36 enrolled subjects, 19 had
lost teeth because of advanced periodontitis
(group P) while the remaining 17 subjects
had suffered tooth loss from other reasons
(group NP). Prior to implant surgery,
informed consent for placement and removal
of the micro-implants was obtained from
each patient.
The patients were treated under local
anaesthesia. Buccal and palatal full thickness
flaps were elevated to expose the bone of the
alveolar ridge. As part of site preparation for
implant placement, a 3 mm trephine drill
was used to remove one or more 2 mm wide
and 56 mm long block of hard tissue (biopsy
site; for details see Lindhe et al. 2011). Hard
tissue preparation was continued according
to the manual for the Astra Tech System
and one or more standard implants (Astra
Tech System; Astra Tech, Molndal, Swe-
den) were installed and cover screw(s) placed.
Lateral (mesial or distal) to the biopsy site,
a twist drill (diameter 2 mm) was used to
prepare the hard tissue for the placement of a
specially designed and custom-manufactured
screw shaped, self-tapping micro-implant
with an Osseospeed surface (Astra Tech)
(implant site). The micro-implants used were
5 mm long, had a diameter of 2.2 mm and
were at all sites fully submerged in the bone
tissue of the ridge. A cover screw was placed
on the implant device. The flaps were
replaced and closed with interrupted sutures
that were removed after 10 days.
After 3 months of healing, i.e. at the time
for the second stage surgery at the standard
implants, minute full thickness flaps were
elevated. The micro-implants with surround-
ing hard tissue cores were retrieved using a
trephine drill (internal diameter 3.4 mm,
external diameter 4.0 mm). The flaps were
replaced and secured with interrupted sutures
that were removed after 10 days.
Abutments were placed on the standard
implants and the restorative procedure was
initiated.
The samples from the biopsy sites were
decalcified, dehydrated, and embedded in par-
affin (for details see Lindhe et al. 2011). Serial
sections were prepared parallel with the long
axis and from the central portion of the har-
vested tissue cylinder. The microtome was
set at 5 lm. Sections were stained in haemat-
oxylin and eosin or Movat pentachrome.
The biopsies from the implant sites were
placed in a fixative containing a 4% buffered
formalin solution and were processed for
ground sectioning according to methods
described by Donath & Breuner (1982) and
Donath (1988). The samples (blocks) were
dehydrated in increasing grades of ethanol
and infiltrated with Technovit 7200 VLC-
resin (Kulzer, Friedrichrsdorf, Germany),
polymerized and sectioned using a saw
microtome (Leica SP 1600; Leica, Nussloch,
Germany).
The blocks that were cut parallel to the
long axis of the implant were reduced to a
thickness of about 20 lm by microgrinding
and polishing and stained in toluidine blue.
The percentage of (i) implant surface that
was in contact with mineralized bone as well
as (ii) the amount of bone present within the
threads of the micro-implants (percentage
bone area) was determined according to Jen-
sen & Sennerby (1998). The measurements
were performed in a Leitz DM-RBE micro-
scope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) equipped
with an image system (Q-500 MC; Leica).
ANOVA was used to assess differences
between data obtained from samples repre-
senting periodontitis and non-periodontitis
subjects. The subject was used as the statisti-
cal unit. Values of P < 0.05 were accepted as
being statistically significant. Pearsons coef-
ficient of correlation was calculated to assess
whether the amount of (i) mineralized bone,
(ii) bone marrow, (iii) fibrous tissue deter-
mined in the biopsy samples influenced the
degree of bone to implant contact (BIC) and
amount of mineralized bone within threads
(B-area) were measured in the ground sec-
tions from implant sites.
Results
The protocol used in the current clinical
study did not delay the upcoming restorative
procedure and no complications from adja-
cent sites harbouring the standard implant(s)
were reported.
The tissues from the biopsy sites were
comprised of a mixture of mineralized bone
(including lamellar and woven bone), osteoid,
bone marrow, and fibrous tissue. The overall
tissue build up of the biopsy sites is
presented in Table 1 (from Lindhe et al.
2011) as well as findings from periodonti-
tis susceptible and non-susceptible subjects.
Mineralized bone (lamellar and woven
bone) made up 55.1 11.1% (group P =
54.6 11%, group NP = 55.8 11.5%) of the
tissue volume while bone marrow occupied
16.5 10.4% (group P = 17.4 11.6%, group
NP = 15.4 8.8%) and fibrous tissue
12.8 8.9% (group P = 12.6 10.7, group
NP = 12.9 6.3%).
At the time of retrieval surgery all micro-
implants were clinically stable. Eight of the
implant site specimens were discarded for
different technical reasons. The ground sec-
tions consisted of a central region that
included the titanium screw lateral of which
varying amounts of tissue were present. The

bone tissue was comprised mainly of lamel-
lar bone. The soft tissue had morphological
features characteristic of either bone marrow
or loose connective tissue (Fig. 1).
The hard tissue present within the threads
of the micro-implants and close to the rough
surface of the titanium device was comprised
of lamellar bone and at some sites a mixture
of lamellar and woven bone (Fig. 2). The min-
eralized tissue or bone marrow appeared in
all sections to be in direct contact with the
surface of the micro-implant.
There was no apparent difference between
the tissue surrounding implants retrieved
from patients in groups P and NP. The degree
of bone to implant contact (Table 2; BIC%)
was 58.6 12.9% (group P = 59.6 13.3%,
group NP = 57.2 13.5%). No significant dif-
ference was observed between the groups
with respect to BIC%.
The percentage of mineralized bone within
the implant threads (Table 2; B-area) was
47.5 15.2% (group P = 49.5 16.3, group
NP = 44.7 13.9%). No significant difference
was observed between implants retrieved from
periodontitis susceptible and non-susceptible
subjects with respect to B-area.
Pearsons coefficient disclosed that there
was a weak negative correlation (0.56;P < 0.05) between volume of fibrous tissue
(biopsy sites) and the length of bone to
implant contact (BIC) while there was a cor-
responding weak positive correlation (0.57;
P < 0.05) between the volume of bone mar-
row and BIC. There was no significant corre-
lation between amount of mineralized bone
(lamellar + woven bone) present in the
biopsy sites and the degree of BIC or B-area
determined in the implant sites.
Discussion
In this clinical-histological study it was
observed that the placement and retrieval of
micro-implants in the posterior maxilla of
human volunteers could be performed with-
out jeopardizing healing of standard screw-
type implants. This is an agreement with
conclusions previously presented (e.g. Jensen
& Sennerby 1998; Ivanoff et al. 2001; Hall-
man et al. 2002; Lindgren et al. 2009) from
similar studies.
In the current sample close to 60% of the
surface of the micro-implants was found to
be in contact with mineralized bone (BIC).
This indicates that the micro-implants at
the time of implant retrieval were properly
osseointegrated. This high percentage of BIC
that had been established already after
3 months of healing furthermore documents
that the surface of the micro-implants had
excellent osteoconductive properties. This
conclusion is in agreement with observa-
tions from experiments using various animal
and in vitro models (e.g. Ellingsen 1995;
Berglundh et al. 2007; Isa et al. 2006; Thor
et al. 2007).
The main finding of the present study was
that healing including hard tissue formation
around implants placed in the posterior max-
illa apparently was similar in periodontitis
susceptible and non-susceptible subjects.
Thus, after 3 months of submerged healing,
neither the degree of bone-to-implant contact
(BIC) nor the amount of mineralized bone
within threads (B-area) of the micro-implant
differed between the two groups of subjects.
It is well known that cells that repopulate
post-extraction sockets determine the quality
of the tissue formed (Amler 1969; Melcher
1976; Cardaropoli et al. 2003). Thus, provided
cells with a bone forming potential (e.g. peri-
odontal ligament fibroblasts, pericytes, osteo-
blasts) become established in the provisional
matrix, woven bone will form and fill the
socket void. This immature bone will during
remodelling be replaced with lamellar bone
and marrow (Cardaropoli et al. 2003). How-
ever, if during the early phase of healing,
mesenchymal cells originating from the
gingiva or oral mucosa migrate into the
socket (the wound), a fibrous connective
tissue will be established and hard tissue
formation becomes compromised. In the
current biopsy sample fibrous connective
tissue made up about 13% of the total tissue
volume; in six sites >20% of the volume was
made up of a fibroblast and collagen rich con-
nective tissue. The statistical analysis (Pear-
sons correlation coefficient) disclosed that
there was a negative correlation between
amount of fibrous tissue and degree of bone
to implant contact. This means that site
preparation and implant placement in an
alveolar ridge in which large amounts of
fibrous connective tissue are present may
retard (prevent) osseointegration during heal-
ing. In a previous publication (Lindhe et al.
2011) it was reported that the amount of
mineralized bone (lamellar bone and woven
bone) that was present in biopsies sampled
from the posterior maxilla varied consider-
ably; from about 80% to 35%. In the current
analysis it was observed that the amount of
mineralized bone as assessed in the paraffin
sections did not correlate with the degree of
BIC or B-area. This indicates that wound
healing (and associated osseointegration) fol-
lowing site preparation and implant installa-
tion are unrelated to the amount of hard
tissue present at the recipient site.
