The term osseointegration is analyzed in relation to its theoretical and clinical definitions, and comparisons are made to other implant modalities. The term osseointegration has a clear clinical meaning, but there is doubt about its precise usage in an experimental setting. Clinically, an implant can be described as osseointegrated if there is no discernable movement when force is applied to the fixture. This is in contrast to implants surrounded by fibrous connective tissue, which move within soft tissue. Newly developed laboratory techniques may be used in the future to precisely characterize osseointegration in the laboratory.
本文分析了骨结合这一术语的理论和临床定义，并与其他植入方式进行了比较。骨结合这一术语具有明确的临床意义，但在实验环境中的精确用法存在疑问。在临床上，如果对种植体施加力时没有可察觉的移动，那么该种植体可被描述为骨结合。这与被纤维结缔组织包围、在软组织内移动的种植体形成对比。未来可能会使用新开发的实验室技术来精确表征实验室中的骨结合情况。
