Résumé

Dental implants are widely used for oral rehabilitation. However, there remain risks of failure that are difficult to anticipate. The objective of this in vitro study is to investigate the potentiality of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) to assess the amount of bone in contact with titanium dental implant. To do so, the implant is initially completely inserted in the proximal part of a bovine humeral bone sample. The 10 MHz ultrasonic response of the implant is then measured and a quantitative indicator I is derived based on the rf signal obtained. Then, the implant is unscrewed by 2π radians and the measurement is realized again. The procedure is repeated seven times and the indicator is derived after each rotation of the implant. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) (p<10-5) tests revealed a significant effect of the amount of bone in contact with the implant on the distribution of I. The results show the feasibility of our QUS device to assess implant primary stability. This study paves the way for the development of a new approach in oral implantology.
