Influence of Different Implant Surfaces on Peri‐Implant Osteogenesis: Histomorphometric Analysis in Sheep

Abstract

Our results suggest that, in the early period of peri-implant healing, the implant surface morphology that seemed to influence the increase of peri-implant osteogenesis, bone turnover, and peri-implant bone maturation was SLA-60. We suggest that this surface, characterized by moderately deep titanium cavities very similar to the osteocyte lacunae, could act as a microscopic scaffold for mesenchymal and/or osteoblast-like cells adhesion.
