Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of collagen cross-link deficiency on collagen fiber formation around an implant and its effect on the osseointegration process.
Methods: Wistar rats were fed 0.1% beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) dissolved in water to induce collagen cross-link deficiency. Custom-made mini-implants with machined surfaces were placed proximal to the tibia. At 1, 2, and 4 weeks postoperatively, the bone area around the implant, bone-implant contact ratio, osteoclast/osteocyte activity, and osseointegration strength were evaluated using histological and immunohistochemical analyses and biomechanical tests.
Results: Long-term disturbance of collagen cross-link formation in the BAPN group resulted in faster collagen fiber maturation than that in controls, with a defective collagen structure, low bone formation quantity, and low bone-implant contact values. Deficiency of collagen cross-links resulted in increased bone resorption and decreased osteocyte activity.
Conclusions: Collagen cross-linking is important for the formation of the collagen matrix, and their deficiency may impair bone activity around implants, affecting the osseointegration process.
