RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate histometrically the influence of a calcium phosphate cement and a low intensity laser on bone repair around titanium implants placed in rabbit tibiae. Twelve adult rabbits were used, and two bone defects of 3.7 mm diameter were prepared in each tibia. The two distal defects were filled with BoneSource1 calcium phosphate cement and the proximal defects did not receive any material. All defects were covered with ProTape2 collagen membranes. After six weeks, the areas of all defects received titanium implants. The implants placed in the right tibiae were subjected to low intensity laser therapy (LILT) with a GaAlAs diode laser every 48h from the 1st to the 13th day postoperatively. After 3 or 6 weeks, the animals were sacrificed (6 animals per period), non-decalcified sections were obtained and analyzed for bone-to-implant contact (CO) and bone area within the implant threads (AO). The results were tabulated and analyzed statistically using ANOVA and Tukey?s test. For CO, the means were statistically similar between groups with and without the material, in the periods of 3 and 6 weeks. CO presented significant increase in the laser irradiated groups, when compared with non-treated groups, in both 3 and 6 weeks periods (p<0.003). CO did not increase significantly with time, when 3 and 6 weeks periods were compared. Considering AO, the means were statistically similar among groups with and without material and with and without laser, in both 3 and 6 weeks periods. The AO presented significant increase with time, when comparing 3 and 6 weeks groups, regardless the use of laser or material (p<0.0001). There was no significant interaction between material and laser for both CO and AO. Based on the results, and considering the limitations of the study, it can be concluded that: (1) low intensity laser improved bone-to-implant contact in rabbit tibiae; (2) the alloplastic material promoted similar peri-implant bone repair when compared to blood cloth
