The Microdamage and Expression of Sclerostin in Peri-implant Bone under One-time Shock Force Generated by Impact

Abstract Osseointegration is the key to implant stability and occlusal support. Biomechanical response and remodeling of peri-implant bone occurs under impact loading. Sclerostin participates in bone formation and resorption through Wnt and RANKL pathways. However the mechanism of microdamage and ex...
