Peri-implant tissues morphometry at SLActive surfaces. An experimental study in the dog.

Objective: The objective was to study tissue components around implants with highly hydrophilic surfaces during early healing.

Materials And Methods: In 12 Labrador dogs, the second and third mandibular premolars were extracted bilaterally. After 3 months of healing, full-thickness flaps were elevated in the edentulous region of one side of the mandible.

Influence of bone marrow on osseointegration in long bones: an experimental study in sheep.

Aim: To evaluate the influence of yellow bone marrow on osseointegration of titanium oral implants using a long bone model.

Material And Methods: The two tibiae of eight sheep were used as experimental sites. Two osteotomies for implant installation were prepared in each tibia.
