AbstractThe aim of the present study was to determine the tactile pressure thresholds perceived with dental implants during a three-month healing phase following implant placement (osseointegration phase). The absolute threshold of tactile perception was measured in a group of patients 1 week, 1,2 and 3 months following implant placement (ITI Dental Implant System, Straumann AG, Waldenburg, Switzerland). Contralateral and neighbouring teeth were measured at the same time. For determination of the axial forces exerted on the implants and teeth, an electronic device with semiconductor strain gauges was used (Hämmerle et al. 1995). The results demonstrated mean thresholds of tactile perception for the implants of 160.2 g (SD 61.7 g, range 77̃283 g) at 1 week, 133.4 g (SD 51.9 g, range 32̃239 g) at 1 month, 147.9 g (SD 53.5 g, range 70̃257 g) at 2 months, and 146.9 g (SD 57.4 g, range 77̃248 g) at 3 months. Statistical analysis using Student's paired t-test revealed no significant differences between the values over time. The control teeth exhibited mean values for tactile perception of 13.1 g (SD 9.6 g, range 5̃47 g) at 1 week, 10.2 g (SD 6.4 g, range 4̃29 g) at I month, 14.8 g (SD 15.9 g, range 2̃58 g) at 2 months, and 15.4 g (SD 12.2 g, range 3̃36 g) at 3 months. Again, these values did not differ significantly from each other and indicated the absence of systemic alterations in perceived pressure threshold over the observation period. The mean perceived pressure threshold was more than 10 times higher for implants than for natural teeth (P0.001) at all observation times. It is concluded that the absolute threshold of tactile perception with dental implants during the phase of osseointegration is not affected by bone and soft tissue healing taking place during the time period.
