Study Notes

Introduction

Joint implants, particularly artificial knees and hips, account for ~90% of global demand.
Over 7 million Americans have knee or hip implants, a rapidly growing figure.
Annual total hip replacements in the US exceeded 306,000 in 2011, with revisions at ~50,600.
Implant longevity is typically over 20 years, challenged by biomechanics, biotribology, and biotriocorrosion.
Wear debris from joint implants can harm surrounding tissue.
Technological advances enhance implant lifespan through techniques like shot peening/laser peening for stress reduction and controlled porosity/functional gradation of implant surfaces for improved osseointegration.
~120 million US citizens are missing at least one tooth, and significantly more (~36 million) are edentulous.
Dental implants are highly successful, reported at 93.3% to 98% long-term survival.
A Vienna study (2004-2012) of 13,147 implants in 4,316 patients showed 97% survival across various factors like implant length, diameter, position.
Other studies (1991-2011) also reported high survival rates (93.3% after 204 months).
A study on hydroxyapatite-coated implants found varying success/survival rates based on implant length/diameter. Longer length implants had higher survival, as did larger diameter.
Long-term survival was 94.6%.
Bone grafts are generally safe but may present risks such as infection, bleeding blood clot, nerve damage, anesthesia complications, bone rejection, and more.

Bone Grafting Treatment

Bone grafting procedures differ based on reason (trauma, disease, surgery) and material used.
GTR and GBR are procedures involved in bone augmentations.
Socket lifting, distraction osteogenesis (bone lengthening), and split crest technique are further bone augmenting procedures.
Ideal bone grafts:
- Osteogenesis (bone formation via new bone growth).
- Osteoinduction (stimulation of bone formation).
- Osteoconduction (facilitating bone regeneration by providing a pathway).
Bone graft materials:
- Autografts (from patient's own body).
- Allografts (from another person).
- Xenografts (from a different species).
- Alloplastic grafts (synthetic).
- Growth factors (synthetic protein regulating bone healing).
Advantages/Disadvantages of each grafting type are discussed.
Potential risks of bone grafts are listed.
