Purpose: The effect of chemotherapy on the osseointegration of dental implants has received less interest compared with radiotherapy. Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of cisplatin chemotherapy on the osseointegration of dental implants in a rabbit model. Materials and methods: Sixteen New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups of treatment of either cisplatin at 2.5 mg/kg/week for 4 weeks (n = 8) or placebo (n = 8), in which the first dose was administered 2 days prior to the surgical procedure. Each rabbit received one titanium dental implant inserted in the right distal femoral condyle. Four rabbits from each group were sacrificed 4 and 8 weeks after implant insertion. Osseointegration of the dental implants was analysed using micro computed tomography and histomorphometric evaluation. Results: Analysis of micro-computed tomography data and histomorphometric data showed that the osseointegration parameters, including the ratio of bone volume to total volume (BV/TV) and bone implant contact (BIC%) for the cisplatin group, were significantly lower compared to the control group at 4 and 8 weeks. (P <= 0.05). Conclusion: Cisplatin chemotherapy had a negative effect on the osseointegration of dental implants when inserted throughout the chemotherapeutic regimens in a rabbit model.
