✦ Synopsis
We examined the influence of aging on the implant-bone observed by SEM. There was no difference in the degree of interface of titanium implants inserted transcortically and maturation of newly formed bone between the young and extending into the medullary canal of rat tibiae, and quantita-adult groups. Titanium implants inserted in the young and tively assessed the differences in bone reaction using an im-adult groups were surrounded with a bone layer. In the old age processing system. Three groups of 15 female rats, aged group, however, there was little mature bone tissue around 6 weeks (young group), 22 weeks (adult group), and 80 weeks the implants. Quantitative evaluation indicated that the (old group) were used in this experiment. The animals were young group showed the highest, the adult group showed sacrificed 28 days after implant placement. Toluidine blue a slightly lower, and the old group showed the lowest percent stained undecalcified sections were prepared for histological bone contact, thickness of bone contact, and area of bone observation and image analysis, and the implant socket was surrounding the implant. ᭧ 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Forty-five female Wistar King A rats were used in Light microscopy of undecalcified sections this study. They were divided into three different age Thirty rats were used for histological observation of the bone tissue-titanium interface in the diaphysis of *To whom correspondence should be addressed.
