The document discusses several topics related to bone physiology, healing, and sterilization. It questions why we wait longer periods of time to load implants in the maxilla versus mandible. It also asks if augmenting a site and placing implants later or doing both at the same time is better. The document discusses the differences between immediate and delayed loading and their effects on bone health. It covers biology, mechanobiology, bone quality determinants like thickness, porosity and connectivity. Principles of bone response, remodeling, microdamage and fragility are discussed. Procedures like drilling, sinus lifts and ridge splits are mentioned. Models of bone injury and repair are presented. Studies on implant survival rates and the mechanostat theory are
