Research Abstract

In this research aiming at solving the mechanism to absorption of the residual ridge by implant placement, the bone metabolism until an implant gains osseointegration was examined in detail first. As a result, increase of implant removal torque of was accepted according to postoperative progress. Moreover, in the process, not only the increase in a bone formation marker but reduction of the bone resorption marker was accepted. From this, it was thought that bone formation is not only promoted, but bone resorption was controlled in the process of osseointegration.
