This study investigated the effect of immediate versus delayed dental implant placement strategies on cell differentiation. The results showed that delayed loading led to greater bone formation than immediate loading. In the delayed strategy, bone cells were appropriately supplied during the first few weeks following surgery, resulting in higher and faster secondary stability of the dental implant.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of immediate versus delayed dental implant placement strategies on cell differentiation in a dental callus.Design: The implant was placed in the mandible with two nearby teeth using an idealized two-dimensional finite element model. Eight weeks after surgery, the mechanobiological modeling of healing was used to estimate cell differentiation. It was assumed that the callus was initially filled by mesenchymal cells. The model then trans-formed mechanical stimuli received by the callus from loadings in terms of distortional and dilatational strains into predictions of the cellular phenotypes, including fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts, or whether they would remain unchanged or die. Results: The results demonstrated that delayed loading led to greater bone formation than immediate loading. Osteoblast colonies were observed in the base of threads in the immediately-loaded implant, whereas the delayed loading caused distant bone formation from the surrounding bone side towards the implant. The osteoblasts were differentiated from both intramembranous and endochondral mechanisms of ossification. After eight weeks, approximately 61 % of the callus was ossified in the delayed placement model compared to 35 % in the im-mediate placement model, resulting in a greater amount of fibrocartilaginous tissue on the bone side of the callus. Conclusions: Immediate and delayed loading models generated different results. In the delayed strategy, bone cells were supplied appropriately during the first few weeks following surgery, whereas the immediate loading caused fibrocartilaginous tissue differentiation. In the form of distant osseointegration, the secondary stability of the dental implant was higher and faster due to the delayed placement.
