The preservative confidentiality of formalin 10% on post-dental implant stability (in vitro study)

Abstract

Introduction: The dental implant steadiness has been estimated in clinical trials, but a precise amount is frequently tough in experimental simulations. In such circumstances, the amount of implant stability quotient (ISQ) inside the jawbone is desirable afterward formalin fixation. Aim: This research aims to explore the influence of formalin 10% fixation on the implant stability. Material and Methods: Twelve dental implants (Dentium Co. Ltd, Suwon, Korea) and four fresh natural tibia bones of sheep gained from the slaughter workshop had been utilized in this research, the implants inserted in the bone specimen then fixed in formalin 10%, and the ISQ was calculated employing device named Osstell mentor at day zero, day 10, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Result: Implant stability quotient readings were showed no significant differences among evaluated times. Conclusions: These findings propose that bone fixation in formalin does not disturb the implant stability quotient after fixation in bone.
