Influence of healing time on the ultrasonic response of the bone-implant interface

Résumé

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of bone healing on the ultrasonic response of coin-shaped titanium implants inserted in rabbit tibiae. The ultrasound response of the interface was measured in vitro at 15 MHz after 7 and 13 weeks of healing time. The average value of the ratio r between the amplitudes of the echo of the bone-implant interface and of the water-implant interface was determined. The bone-implant contact (BIC) was measured by histomorphometry and the degree of mineralisation of bone was estimated qualitatively by histologic staining. The significant decrease of the ultrasonic quantitative indicator r (p = 2.10(-4)) vs. healing time (from r = 0.53 to r = 0.49) is explained by (1) the increase of the BIC (from 27% to 69%) and (2) the increase of mineralization of newly formed bone tissue, both phenomena inducing a decrease of the gap of acoustical impedance.
