This study was designed to develop an inexpensive, reproducible method for studying the reaction of the tissues of the oral cavity to the endosseous implant. Thirty-six guinea pigs, three materials (Teflon, Vitallium, and Titanium 6Al-4V), two observation periods (two and 12 weeks), and two implant designs (one with exposure to the oral cavity and one without exposure to the oral cavity) were used. The inflammatory response was significantly greater in the exposed implants than in the unexposed implants. In the implants that were exposed 12 weeks, there was a strong interrelationship between severe inflammation, bacteria, and epithelial invagination. These factors are significant causes for failures of implants.

D010043 Outcome and Process Assessment, Health Care Evaluation procedures that focus on both the outcome or status (OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT) of the patient at the end of an episode of care - presence of symptoms, level of activity, and mortality; and the process (ASSESSMENT, PROCESS) - what is done for the patient diagnostically and therapeutically.

D010518 Periodontitis Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.

D010519 Periodontium The structures surrounding and supporting the tooth. Periodontium includes the gum (GINGIVA), the alveolar bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS), the DENTAL CEMENTUM, and the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT.
