OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate morphologically the progression of @entity737 around an ultraviolet (UV)-light-irradiated implant in @entity235 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pure @entity702 implants (3.3 mm in diameter and 8 mm long) were placed into @entity235 jawbone bilaterally. Implants on one side were irradiated with UV light for 15 minutes using a photodevice immediately before placement (UV group), whereas those on the other side were not irradiated (non-UV group). Osseointegration was confirmed 90 days after implant placement by radiography. Experimental @entity737 was induced by the application of dental floss over 90 days. Clinical and radiographic examination and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) were performed after 90 and 180 days, and bone resorption was measured. The bone-implant interface in tissue sections was examined by light microscopy. RESULTS: Bone resorption around the UV-irradiated implant was less pronounced than around the non-UV-irradiated implant in the ligature-induced @entity737 model. Tissue section images revealed no contact and partial destruction at the bone-implant interface. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this preliminary investigation, it is suggested that UV-light-irradiated implants suppress spontaneous progression of @entity737 .
