The goals of these case reports were to (1) apply digital subtraction radiography to the assessment of the healing of root-form implants so that small changes in bone height and density could be detected and (2) to compare the bony support around root-form implants in patients prescribed the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, flurbiprofen, with support in patients who did not receive the flurbiprofen as adjunctive therapy. Titanium root-form implants were surgically placed in four patients who were randomly assigned to receive either 100 mg flurbiprofen twice a day for three months or no flurbiprofen (as controls). Radiographs were taken immediately post-operatively and at four months. Digital subtraction radiography was used to detect sites of bone gain, loss, or unchanged bone around the implant. This four-month pilot study suggests that the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, flurbiprofen, appears to be associated with increased bone density surrounding dental implants, and that digital subtraction radiography may be useful for the evaluation of bone density changes around dental implants.
（1）将数字减影放射成像应用于评估根形种植体的愈合情况，以便能够检测到骨高度和密度的微小变化；（2）比较服用非甾体抗炎药氟比洛芬的患者与未接受氟比洛芬辅助治疗的患者根形种植体周围的骨支持情况。将钛根形种植体通过手术植入4名患者体内，这些患者被随机分配，一组每天两次服用100毫克氟比洛芬，持续三个月，另一组不服用氟比洛芬（作为对照组）。术后立即和术后四个月拍摄X光片。使用数字减影放射成像来检测种植体周围骨增加、骨丢失或骨无变化的部位。这项为期四个月的初步研究表明，非甾体抗炎药氟比洛芬似乎与牙种植体周围骨密度增加有关，并且数字减影放射成像可能有助于评估牙种植体周围的骨密度变化。
