  • Title: [Biomechanical apsects of implantation in bone].
    Author: Rahn BA.
    Journal: SSO Schweiz Monatsschr Zahnheilkd; 1976 Sep; 86(9):946-53. PubMed ID: 1068519.
    Abstract:
    Bone in the adult shows a continuous adaptation to the actual influence of applied stress by a combination of apposition and resorption. Little is known about this process around dental implants. It is only resorption which is known to be in relation with micromovements between bone and implant. Thus, the formation of connective tissue around implants is explained. The mechanical stress upon this connective tissue leads to the formation if fibres which recall the system of suspension of the teeth.
