Abstract
The present experiment in the Labrador dog was performed to study tissue alterations that occurred in a peri-implantitis lesion following ligature removal. The study was carried out in 5, 1-year old Labrador dogs. The mandibular right and left 1st molars and 4th and 3rd premolars were extracted to establish recipient sites for implants. After 3 months of healing, 4 titanium fixtures, 2 in each jaw quadrant, were installed and abutment connection carried out in a 2nd stage procedure after another 3 months. After a 6-month period of healing, cotton floss ligatures were placed in a submarginal position around the neck of the fixture abutments. The ligatures were forced into a position "apical" of the margin of the peri-implant mucosa and secured. When the tissue destruction after 4-6 weeks was found to amount to about 25% of the original bone height at each individual implant, the ligatures were removed. 2 dogs were sacrificed 1 month and 3 dogs 3 months after ligature removal. The animals were perfused with a fixative and block biopsies were obtained from the implant sites. The biopsies were prepared for histometric and morphometric analyses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)Keywords
