The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of early functional on bone formation around titanium plsama sprayed IMZ implants. 15 IMZ implants were inserted on the mandibular premolar areaa in 5 mondgrel dogs. The inplants were divided into 4 groups according to it’s loading schedule : Temporary abutments were connected for functional loading 6weeks, 9weeks, and 12weeks after implants installation in group I, II, and III, respectively. Abutments were not connected in the control group. After polyfluorochrome sequential labeling, all animals were sacrificed and bone sections includig implants and the 1st. molar were removed and processed for histologic evaluation. From light and fluorescence microscopic evaluation as well as histomorphometric and EPMA analysis, following results were obtained : 1. Light microscopically, the osteoid tissues were observed much in the compact bone of unloaded group, and cancellous bone formation observed more in early loaded group. 2. Calcification and remodeling of bone took place faster in loaded group, especially in 6 weeks group. 3. Moderate to severe marginal bone resorption was observed in 6 weeks group, mainly on buccal crest. 4. There was no difference in the percentages of bone-to-metal contact among the experimental groups. 5. In quantitative analysis using EPMA, there was no difference in the content of calcium and phosphorus among the experimental groups, regardless of distance.
