Enhancement of Implant Osseointegration by High-Frequency Low-Magnitude Loading

Enhancement of Implant Osseointegration by High-Frequency Low-Magnitude Loading

BACKGROUND Mechanical loading is known to play an important role in bone remodelling. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of high- and low-frequency axial loading, applied directly to the implant, on peri-implant bone healing and implant osseointegration. METHODOLOGY Titanium implants were bilaterally installed in rat tibiae. For every animal, one implant was loaded (test) while the other...

Low-magnitude high-frequency loading, by whole-body vibration, accelerates early implant osseointegration in ovariectomized rats

Osteoporosis deteriorates jaw bone quality and may compromise early implant osseointegration and early implant loading. The influence of low‑magnitude, high‑frequency (LMHF) vibration on peri‑implant bone healing and implant integration in osteoporotic bones remains poorly understood. LMHF loading via whole‑body vibration (WBV) for 8 weeks has previously been demonstrated to significantly enhan...

Inhibition of osteopenia by low magnitude, high-frequency mechanical stimuli.

The identification of anabolic agents for the treatment of metabolic bone disease is a highly prized, and elusive, goal. In searching for the osteogenic (bone-producing) constituents within mechanical stimuli, it was determined that high frequency (10-100 Hz) and low magnitude (<10 microstrain) stimuli were capable of augmenting bone mass and morphology, thereby benefiting both bone quantity an...
