ABSTRACT
Introduction: The degree of variation in the results obtained in experiments that evaluate the anatomical and physiological responses of bone-implant interfaces in dogs is marked. This variance may be due to several factors, including the experimental units and the design of the experiment itself. The aim of this review of the scientific literature is to present the main factors that affect the variation in these results.
Material and methods: A comparison was made between what are the recommended methods for trials involving canine dental implants and those published in the literature over the last 13 years (2000-2013). The literature in question was found and selected from articles available in PubMed, NCBI, and Google Scholar. A total of 61 articles were included in order to allow an analysis based on race, age, weight, and gonadal status. These key factors were used to construct a database, which included the number of repetitions per treatment. Crestal bone level changes were chosen as the response variable for analysis purposes and the observed variance in crestal bone level was determined. Data on crestal level behavior from the 61 publications were used, which provided 38 pieces of mean and standard deviations data. These were then used to determine the number of repetitions of a particular significance value (p ‹ 0.10 and p ‹ 0.05) and specific precision (in mm) to enable differences to be identified.
Conclusions: According to the material reviewed and discussed, the variation in question may be due more to the experimental material and its design than to the treatments that were studied themselves. Future publications should include more complete and detailed information on the characteristics of the experimental units and the experiment design so as to allow a more accurate inference to be drawn from the results.
