  Impact of diabetes mellitus on osseointegration of tantalum oxynitride-coated titanium implants in female rabbits: A histological perspective with implications for reproductive health
  Author(s): Hassan Jawad Farhan and Akram Yousif Yasear*
  
  Background: Successful osseointegration of metal dental implants comprises many factors that include the accumulation of bone mass, followed by bone remodelling by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. It has been well documented that osteocytes are among the major regulators of bone remodelling in the peri-implant bone mass area and its future maintenance. Aim: The study aims to evaluate the histological aspects of osteocytes in peri-implantation bone mass of normal and diabetic rabbits implanted with Commercial pure Titanium (CpTi) dental screws coated with Tantalum Oxynitride (TaON) via reactive plasma sputtering. Materials and methods: The CpTi screws were coated with Tantalum Oxynitride (TaON) using the reactive plasma sputtering for eight hours. Of the eight white female New Zealand rabbits, four were alloxaninduced diabetic rabbits, and four were normal. One non-coated and one TaON-coat.. Read More»
