Abstract Dental implants are considered as effective rehabilitation treatment. However, the success of osseointegration is associated with the health of the peri-implant tissue. Several factors may adversely affect the receptor site, including, radiation therapy, what is the procedure in which occurs the release of radiation in specific areas, aiming the treatment of tumors. Radiotherapy has been associated with increased loss risk of implants and higher failure rate. However, the mechanisms by which these events take place have not yet been completely understood. O objective of this study is to evaluate the modulatory effect of radiotherapy, simulating total dose of a conventional radiation treatment for cancer patients, in expression of blood cytokines and in bone tissue cells. It will be used in this study 72 mice that receive threaded titanium implants commercially pure grade 2 (cpTi) the right femurs. The animals will be divided in 4 groups: a) implant group (Ip): placement of the implant surgery (Group control - healthy tissue without irradiation); b) Group early irradiation (IRP): surgery implant placement followed by irradiation after 1 day; c) Group late irradiation (IRT): placement of implants surgery and irradiation after 4 weeks; d) Group Irradiation (Ir): irradiation and after 4 weeks of surgery implant placement. The animal IRI groups, IRT and Go will be subjected to irradiation in a single step in dose of 30 Gy. Plasma levels of TNF-Q, IL-1², M-CSF and IL-10 will be measured prior to the time of euthanasia. In periods of 3 days, 2 weeks and 6 weeks after treatment, 06 animals will be euthanized at random. At parts containing the implants are subjected to immunostaining using the antiTRAP, osteocalcin and p PARP-85 markers. All data will be statistically analyzed initially by the normality test towards the implementation of the appropriate statistical test. The significance level It is the conventional value of 5% (AU) | |
